Review Text: Great budget laptop, big screen, upgradable. Since I couldn't find any teardowns of this laptop online, I've provided some pictures in this review.
YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY UPGRADE THE RAM IN THIS LAPTOP.
Do not listen to HP Support, they know nothing. They are just reading from an automated response sheet, they have never even seen this laptop.
This laptop comes with 1 stick of Samsung 8GB DDR4 3200 RAM (Model: M471A1G44AB0-CWE)
There is an additional SODIMM slot for another stick of RAM, so you can run 2 sticks in dual channel. (Funny enough, the words "One Dimm Only" are printed on the PCB where the second RAM slot is, probably so the assemblers don't put in 2 and give you a free stick). The second slot is fully functional. I even put in a non-matching stick of Crucial RAM and the system recognized it and booted right up.
Otherwise, a very standard new laptop. m.2 NvME drive in the lower right, Wifi card in the center left, and even a spot for a standard laptop SATA drive in the lower left (the SATA hookups are missing though, so you'll have to figure that out on your own if you want to add a SATA drive).
There are 10 screws total that are holding on the bottom cover. The 6 black screws (circled in red) are under the 2 long rubber feet. The 4 silver screws (circled in blue) are easily accessible. You will then need to use PLASTIC tools to pry and unclip the bottom case. Be careful and gentle, even plastic tools can dent and mar the plastic casing.
All in all, a great 17" laptop for web browsing and doing regular office work.
