Verify ports, memory limits and charger

Confirm your docking station or monitors work with HDMI and Thunderbolt connections. Check whether the installed 8GB DDR4 meets your workload or if you plan to add more memory later. Ensure your existing 1080p peripherals match the screen resolution. The 720p webcam covers basic video calls.
