Questions about this item

Does the 512 GB NVMe drive leave room for a second storage drive?

The laptop ships with a single 512 GB PCIe Gen 4x4 NVMe M.2 SSD. A second M.2 slot is available for expansion if you need more capacity.

Will the 165 Hz QHD panel run at its full refresh rate over the HDMI port?

The HDMI output supports external displays, but the maximum refresh rate at QHD depends on the monitor and cable used. Check your display’s HDMI specification for the exact limit.

Is the 32 GB of DDR5 memory soldered or can it be upgraded later?

The system comes with 32 GB DDR5 5600 MHz installed and supports up to 64 GB total, so you can add more memory if the slots are not fully populated.
