Just wanted to enlighten everyone about that garbage RX 640 graphics card. It is even slower than the older Rx 540 and slower than Nvidia MX150. The Vega 6 Integrated graphics in Ryzen 5 4500U performs same, if not better, than this laptop's RX 640.

But they say there's a chip shortage. Can I rip off the RX 640 and sell it on ebay?

Even if you can do that impossible task, nobody would buy it for mining.

Totally Agree about the Graphics Card.....It makes no sense to include it in this laptop, since it is SLOWER than the iGPU.

You can game on this but it is not all that good at doing so. If you are a gamer I suggest a better gaming notebook.

There are advantages of this notebook. It does do 4k at 60hz.

Question:
Can I upgrade it to 32gb ddr4?
Answer:
This laptop has 8GB onboard memory and one open slot that supports up to 16GB, max total of 24GB.

Now there are 32gb sticks so it is possible you might be able to upgrade to 40GB.

A review also said there was a SSD slot available. Not sure reviews were mixed on that. Others said all you could do was add an external drive. The USB C is not all that great either so you can not add a Monitor using it. Some complained about the charging connection not being that great.

Overall not a bad price so difficult to find open RAM slots on notebooks.

It does have room for a 2.5" HD or SSD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG_gSlQklJA

You can compare the 4GB graphic card with others. Having the dedicated GB for graphics should help especially if you do not add more memory.
