HP Pavilion 14-AL022TU
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have couple of questions:

 

I want to purchase HP Pavilion 14-AL022TU from HPSHOPPING.IN and need clarifications on the below questions:-

 

1. Can we replace HDD with SSD ? Is the back panel openable ? 

2. Is there free RAM Slots available ? So that I can upgrade in future ?

3. Does it have DVD Drive ?

4. What is the exact weight of this laptop ?

Here is the Service Manual:

 

Manual

 

specs

 

Weight
1.58 kg

 

No DVD drive

 

The bottom cover is removeable, see p. 31 of the Manual but technically it is only supposed to be done by authorized technicians. It is only about medium difficult and hard drive and memory compartments do not require motherboard removal to access. 

 

There are two memory slots and it can take up to 2 x 8 gigs of DDR4-2133

 

Two SODIMM slots, non-accessible/non-upgradeable Support for DDR4-2133 dual channel Support for up to 16.0-GB maximum system memory in the following conƭgurations ● 16384-MB: 8192-MB × 2

 

The hard drive can be replaced with an SSD and there is even an M.2 mSSD slot for a SATA M.2 drive.
