  Can't find any comment re. touchscreen. If it were touchscreen, I'd grab one for sure.

  This actually is pretty decent, might have to get one!

  Does anybody know if this is a TN or IPS panel?

  • 

    scperfume on 14/01/2021 - 14:25

    I've read that it's IPS

  Looks good for the money, especially with upgradeable ram.

  Not sure how it's 20GB max though - surely either 16 or 24?

    Might be a weird standard 8gb configuration like 4gb soldered on and a 4gb stick with 1 spare slot?

    • 

      miarn on 14/01/2021 - 14:42

      Yeah that would make sense

      Correct - I bought one from Harvey's on Black Friday for $699 - can't fault it

      It is 4GB soldered and 1 slot - I took out the 4GB SODIMM (retained for warranty) and added an $89 16GB from MSY - making 20.

      There's also a bay for a 2.5" HDD. I took apart a 2TB Seagate portable and added that

      Honestly, I've yet to find anything wrong with it

        Thanks for letting us know that 16Gb Sodimm is now $89 at MSY. I last bought 8Gb Kingston for $49 at MSY. Cheers.

    Probably includes intels Optane memory.

  With the 20GB RAM max config, expect it to be 4GB soldered and free slot for a 16GB RAM stick.

  striker999 on 14/01/2021 - 15:10

  Is there anything for less than $600 similar to this?
  Max budget is $600 :(

  • 

    pennypincher98 on 14/01/2021 - 15:44

    Best chance is to try and get a good discount on gift cards, look for ex-display models or look at Amazon's offerings (if you don't mind waiting).

    Not sure how much you'll get under $600 from a brick and mortar store with these specs.. maybe an i3?

    Try Dell if their sale isn't over. With cashback or a lucky voucher from classifieds might find one you like.

  What is the SSD type in this? SATA M.2 I assume?

  • 

    ployer on 09/02/2021 - 15:05

    Yes, this is correct. Also has a hard drive slot for a regular 2.5 inch SSD Drive
