Question 1

Can the ram be upgraded?

Accepted Answer

Yes the RAM can be upgraded, but it's already good enough. If you really want to give it a performance boost, get a SSD for it. I think you can buy this exact model but with an SSD instead of an HHD.

Question 2

FIX THE DESCRIPTION - STILL SAYS "FULL HD" and "1920x1080" WHY????? ASUS support agreed with one complaint that this model is lower resolution. I almost bought this with the same expectation!

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us with your question. It appears the item's description has been adjusted to be more accurate.

Thank you, 
Newegg Support

Question 3

How fast does the USB3.1 port actually run - for instance, when zeroing a connected hard drive that can write at 150MB/s?

Accepted Answer

In theory, the max throughput on a USB 3.1 connection is somewhere around 625 MB/s (Gen 1), so yes it is possible for it to write at the full 150MB/s that a hard drive is capable of.  But keep in mind, that with a mechanical hard drive the write speed will vary depending on where the read/write head is in relation to the platter(s).  On a SATA SSD Drive, it's very possible that it could max out that transfer rate, but it would ultimately be limited by the speed of the processor/bus/memory/internal hard drive/or other storage medium being used for the transfer.

Question 4

Can the hhd be removed and replaced?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can, however, replacing drives can be very difficult so I would recommend going for this exact model but with an SSD already installed, you can find this option on Newegg.
