Question 1

Is the RAM dual band or is it on a single 8 GB stick?

Accepted Answer

It's a single stick with room to add another one.

Question 2

what games can be played on this laptop?

Accepted Answer

I am able to play games like Overwatch on this laptop on the lowest settings with a few frame drops. When there is a lot going on, the game gets choppy and laggy. Keep in mind this is not a gaming computer but it can support some games at an "okay-ish" quality. This laptop (and others like it in this price range) are best suited for work or school.

Question 3

the pic on the memory looks like it's probably 4x2 ram, what is it up-gradable to?

Accepted Answer

not 4x2...came with an 8 gig stick at 2666 speed (not good) single channel...

Question 4

How long will the battery last before having to recharge?

Accepted Answer

meh, under use playing games...maybe 3 hours tops? browsing the web and playing movies is about 6 hours....just idle is around 20 hours? depends on settings?
