which does not say its available ports but I believe it has at least one HDMI 2.0a port and one mini DisplayPort 1.4. VGA connection is too old, you need a proper conversion adapter (may be ending up buying a new monitor is better). Anyway, you can connect

 

  • miniDP 1.4 to HDMI cable to TV
  • HDMI to VGA adapter to monitor

and you can use both at the same time.

 

1. RAM: It has 16 GB DDR4-2933 SDRAM (2 x 8 GB) now. You can upgrade to 32GB (2 x 16GB) or 64GB (2 x 32GB) max using Samsung RAM (I believe it has Samsung RAM now)

or use the following compatible RAM  (will run at 2666MHz)

 

             32GB:   https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k16g4sfd8266/ct19044534

                          https://www.crucial.com/memory/ddr4/ct2k32g4sfd832a/ct19044518

 

2. STORAGE: It has 1 TB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD now. You can add 1TB or 2TB more to the second M.2 NVMe SSD slot using Crucial P2 or P5 or Samsung 970 EVO series, such as
