Question 1

does the dvd drive play blueray discs?

Accepted Answer

No it does not play blue rays

Question 2

Can I put in a Samsung 950 pro... Also I read there is an hard drive upgrade slot under the back cover easy to access? For a M.2 2280 NVMe SSD? Or a 2.5 ssd

Accepted Answer

The upgrade slot is there, but there is no connection to connect another 2.5 SSD.
So you will be better off upgrading with M.2.  With this laptop you will have 1 extra NVMe slot and 2 SATA slots on the adapter. 1 of the NVMe is being used by the 128gb M.2 currently in the machine. I hope this helps.
I added a 1TB evo 850 M.2 2280 in the sata slot. So now I have the 128gb NVMe as my boot and the EVO 850 1TB for my games and media. The 1TB HD I use as storage and it is desently fast for 7200rpm

Question 5

Is this laptop's video card upgradeable?

Accepted Answer

Yea it is. But its huge penny wise and dollar foolish mistake. The 980 card is about 7/800 right now. SO- for 2500 TCO you can buy a lot better model. Best option is to get a model with the better card right from the start.. Also warranty that way, you change it- no warranty.
