Question 1

Are you able to upgrade this laptop from 16gb to 32gb of memory with this laptop?

Accepted Answer

i would like to upgrade my 16gigs to 32gig, which ram works best? I know its DDR3L, 204pin, but what about all the other stuff on the ram? i look and some ram says (pc3 14900) or (pc3l 12800) and other stuff.

Does it matter? will any ddr3l work?

Question 2

Can this run Gamecube games such as Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, and Starfox Adventures on Dolphin at 60 frames with no lag?

Accepted Answer

I can't speak from experience on that. I assume so... I can play games like Shadow of Mordor, Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Skyrim, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and more with no lag (on ultra settings), so I think you won't have a problem there. This thing will most likely handle any modern game you throw at it.

Question 3

Does it support dual HDD's?

Accepted Answer

it supports Four  M.2 SATA drives by default. It supports  One ,  2.5" drive by default
you can buy a 9.5mm hard drive caddy, take out the dvd drive and replace dvd drive with a Second 2.5" drive
if you are comfortable with hardware modification you can find instructions on notebookreview forums on how to add Third 2.5"  drive

Question 4

Will it hurt to leave the laptop pluged in to the wall all the time. Or did msi think and put something in for that?

Accepted Answer

If you want to preserve your batter life, it's best not to leave it plugged in all the time.  To my knowledge, MSI has not put any sort of charging cutoff in their systems.

Question 5

What is the speed of the CPU?

Accepted Answer

At base speed you are looking at 2.5ghz, as advertised and with the ac adapter ive seen speeds in excess of 3.5ghz with turbo. Pretty decent considering that 3.5ghz is the stock speed for my desktop.

Question 6

How is the screen? Does it have a grainy effect?

Accepted Answer

I'm not a connoisseur of screens but even I was a bit skeptical that an 1080p matte screen would would nice - so I was rather surprised when the smooth screen was in fact very clear and the sun couldn't put a glare on it.  Mind you, this is from someone that tried a beautiful but highly unnecessary 3K screen from MSI less than a week ago.  The only thing I changed was to adjust the brightness in the Nvidia settings (lets you make the screen much brighter than the default brightness adjust menu in windows).

Question 7

with enough time, can you configure this laptop with spanish keyboard?. If it yes, i surely buy it soon as i can.

Greetings

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add four of these into the computer as they have slots ready and waiting for them. Therefore, you can upgrade as you see fit over time or up front. Choice is yours!

Question 9

How long do you think this laptop will last if it is used constantly but treated with care?

Accepted Answer

Im using this laptop currently on deployment... on a submarine. Trying to fit this thing with me in my rack (where I sleep) is a challenge but, the real issue i was worried about was the heat buildup. Turns out my concerns werent warrented as the cooling on this laptop is superb even under high load as I am avid gamer, hence why Ibought it. The main issue with laptop longevity is between the battery and heat build-up adversely affecting components. The latter isn't an issue for this laptop but, the former is dependent on the individual user.

Question 10
