Question 1

Will this laptop be able to run softwares like SketchUp, AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit, etc?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can definitely run those programs without a hiccup.  I personally use autocad and sketch up on a somewhat regular basis and have no problems. The only thing I'd like to mention is that the right shift key and up arrrow are put in places I cannot for the life of me understand. This was a nightmare until I remapped those specific keys.

Question 2

Does this come with the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 10?

Question 3

Is there a way to get more hard disk space than the 256GB SSD?

Accepted Answer

It looks like there are access panels on the bottom of the laptop that can be remove with a phillips screwdriver for you to gain access to the SSD.  You could buy a larger SSD and install that yourself.  Other options could be an External HDD.  I don't see any way to install a second drive.
