Question 1

I am not a tech person when it comes to laptops. Few questions:
1)can you add additional storage (like more GB for hardrive space)
2)can you upgrade the current storage (as in replace it to a 1tb)
3)Are there additional memory card slots for more RAM?
4)Can i remove the 8gb ram thats already there and put in, say, 2 16GB RAM
5)What would I buy to appropriately/properly upgrade/add these Harddrive and RAM? Like what kind of RAM?

Accepted Answer

1. Yes, you can add more storage, there is space for a 2.5 inch hard-drive slot if you ever need to upgrade the storage.
2. You can upgrade the storage that is already in the laptop, but it already has a REALLY fast M.2 SSD, getting a 1TB M.2 SSD is pretty pricey, so I recommend keeping the current SSD in.
3. There are 2 total RAM slots in this device, but only 1 is occupied. 
4. Yes, you can remove the 8gb stick that's already in the Laptop, but I would recommend just adding another 8GB stick for a total of 16GB and to save some money. Having 32GB of RAM total is only really good for video editing or heavy computational tasks. You will probably see no difference between 16GB and 32GB of RAM.
5a. For the hard-drive, getting any 2.5 inch hard-drive is what you will need. Make sure it's not a 3.5inch drive because those are only meant for desktops and wont fit into a Laptop. You can also get a 2.5 inch SATA SSD which is quite noticeably faster than a hard-drive, but they usually cost a bit more.
5b. For the RAM, I would only really buy another 8gb stick due to the reasons I talked about earlier. When buying RAM for this model, make sure its DDR4 2666MHZ SODIMM RAM. DDR4 meaning the type of RAM, 2666MHZ meaning the speed of the RAM (this laptop only supports this speed and anything faster or slower probably wont work,) and SODIMM meaning the size of the RAM, so it can fit into the Laptop. 
If you have any questions or need clarification, let me know and I can help you out.

Question 2

in the Title claims it has a intel core i5, but in the description below says it has intel core i7.. so which is it?

Accepted Answer

This exact model has a Core i5 9300h to be exact, it also does NOT have per-key lighting, Newegg used a picture of the higher-end model that DOES have per-key lighting, but the 2 base models don't have it sadly, the keyboard is all one color and changes.

Question 3

Is it made from metal?

Accepted Answer

Most of this laptop is made of high quality plastic. Don't worry though, this plastic is very strong and very nice.

Question 4

is it new or used?

Accepted Answer

New

Question 5

Does it have a webcam, and can we increase the Ram/SSD size?

Accepted Answer

This does not have a webcam. It only has a built-in microphone. RAM and SSD storage are upgradable. It has two RAM slots, an M.2 storage slot, and an empty 2.5 inch storage space.

Question 6

Is it really good for gaming? because i really want a high quallity laptop

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a great gaming laptop, it should be able to run most games with ease. The only downside is it come with 8 gigabytes of RAM. I would highly recommend upgrading this to 16 because 8 just isn't enough for gaming anymore.
