Good value buy for a laptop and easily upgradeable. You can add another stick of RAM and triple your memory if you choose to from the get go. ( real easy to open up the back cover just dont lose the screws as they are tiny. ) Also an empty slot for another SSD if you want to expand the hard drive space. You just need to buy a ribbon cable to connect it. There are other reviews that show this. Does the job for most everyday things and can stream with ease, just not 4k capable so consider that when you buy.

Respectable Inexpensive Laptop w/Option to Upgrade
ByTeeGee
As others have written, this is a respectable laptop with a few upgrade options available, specifically adding additional memory and/or an additional SSD.
I chose to add PNY 8GB DDR4 2400MHz Notebook Memory - (MN8GSD42400) to the existing 4 GB and a 250 GB SSD I had on hand to the empty drive bay, supplementing the existing 128 GB. The SSD required a Hard Disk Connector with Cable, part number 6017B0421501 (8 bucks from ebay). Removing the back cover is hardest part: 2 visible screws at the front, plus some hidden screws under the two rubber strips which can be carefully peeled off then replaced. Once screws are removed, use guitar pick or credit card to pry off the back cover (from the keyboard side). See pics for parts locations.

Did you have to buy a mounting bracket or you just placed the drive in the slot, connected the cable and closed the laptop? Thanks!
