## Questions people ask

**Can the memory be upgraded?**

Yes, and it is the only laptop here that says so: two DDR4 slots, and a buyer reports having doubled theirs.

**How light is it?**

1.7 kg, the lightest of the five machines in this ranking and 300 grams under the HP 14.

**What processor does it have?**

An Intel Core i7-1355U, a 13th-generation 15-watt chip, one generation newer than the HP machines here.

**Does it have an HDMI port?**

The page lists HDMI only through a USB-C adapter, so there is no full-size HDMI socket.

**What is wrong with the specification?**

The graphics are called integrated in one field and GDDR6 in another, and the dimensions repeat another listing's 2 cm by 24.1 cm error.

**How many ratings does it have?**

19 at the time of collection, averaging 4 stars, with 49 per cent five-star and 8 per cent one-star.
