Is there a way for me to upgrade this laptop?

[Androy518]

I just ordered the HP Pavilion 15t touch. When I was on the customization page, I noticed that there were a lot of better options that I did not have the budget required to get. I want to know if there is a way for me to upgrade this laptop in the future because I noticed that there better options than the ones that I chose such as adding more ram or getting a dedicated graphics card. I have never built a computer before.

Hi,

You do not provide the exact model number, so I can not be specific.

However, RAM will be upgradable with latest model laptops usually to 32GB

You most likely will be able to install an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD

That is basically where the upgrades stop. The graphics "card" and CPU are integrated on the motherboard and are not upgradable. 

Hope it helps,

David

I am not sure what a model number is. I did not receive the laptop yet but I ordered it. This is the link where I found it.

I wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade from Intel® Core™ i7-8565U (1.8 GHz, up to 4 GHz, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)+Intel® UHD Graphics 620 to Intel® Core™ i7 8565U (1.8 GHz, up to 4.6 GHz, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)+NVIDIA® GeForce® MX250 (2 GB GDDR5) or Intel® Core™ i7 8565U (1.8 GHz, up to 4.6 GHz, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)+NVIDIA® GeForce® MX250 (4 GB GDDR5) on this specific model after I received it.

Hi,

It is not possible as the CPU, GPU and graphics subsystem are all integrated on the motherboard (soldered). So, the only option would be to replace the whole motherboard, which would cost about as much as buying a new PC with the desired specs.

Hope it helps,
