Question 1

Is there space to add an extra hard drive/SSD?  My old Asus ROG laptop had two SATA bays and I filled them with 2 x 1TB SSDs.  I'd hate to go backwards on storage capacity.

Accepted Answer

There aren't any internal SATAIII slots, but you can absolutely get a USB-to-SATA adapter for external use (this has USB 3.2 ports, so whatever you have will be absolutely fast enough). But plan to move towards M.2 NVM3 drives with this laptop

Question 2

how many NVMe m.2 ports are there not including the M.2 already in the laptop?

Accepted Answer

3 all together

Question 3

Is there a web cam on this model?

Accepted Answer

No web cam, They kept the bezel area around the screen small.

Question 4

Can the lighting on the bottom be turned off?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can be turned off. Go into Armoury Crate app that comes installed and change to dark mode. You have to see it on music mode it's awesome.

Question 5

Can you upgrade 16GB to 32GB RAM?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this has 2 slots, so you can go up to 2x16 DDR4 sticks

Question 6

Does it have 1 16gb stick of ram or 2 8gb sticks of ram? I'd want to upgrade to 32gb if I got it.

Accepted Answer

It comes with 2x8 sticks

Question 7

i have two questions ....first can you tell me about temperature CPU and GPU, max. during playing games ....second one is about noise, is very noise under loud?

Accepted Answer

Become familiar with Armory Crate (Asus' control software for this). It's not necessary to run, but can help automate some of this for you.  At higher-performance settings, this can certainly be loud

Question 8

Does this laptop come with windows 10 installed? If so, is it Pro?

Accepted Answer

It’s home edition.

Question 9

Is this just the standard 2070 or is it the super?

Accepted Answer

It is the standard RTX 2070, non Max-Q version.
