We have two lines of questions going here, maybe 3. On the Omen, yes even though the Manual does not say it you can install 2 x 16 gigs = 32 of DDR4-2666 SO-DIMM. This model is almost unique in expressly allowing the end user to remove the back cover and upgrade memory and storage. Start on p. 35 of the Manual here:

 

Service Manual

 

On the Envy x360 m6-w103dx model yes there are two memory slots and max memory is 2 x 8 = 16 gigs of DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM. Bad news is memory is on the backside of the motherboard and very difficult to access. It's the opposite of the Omen in that really only a technician or a very experienced end user should try to open it up. See p. 42 here:

 

Service manual

 

Envy is like Business Class on the airplane and Spectres are more like First Class but there is a lot of overlap. I can't compare "Envy" to "Spectre" in the abstract. Please describe as best you can your budget and your son's needs and preferences. Screen size? With that info I will give you my 2 cents worth on which HP laptop you might want to consider. Also let me know what country you live in so we can look for promotional pricing.

I have a similar question and one more, except that my computer is different.

 

1) I have the following computer (HP ENVY x360 - m6-w103dx (ENERGY STAR), Serial number: 8CG5430CW7, Product number: M1V66UA, Windows 10, 64 bit). The warranty has expired on this computer and I want to upgrade from 8GB RAM to 16GB RAM. The task manager shows that I have a total of one RAM slot, so that would mean replacing the 8GB RAM with one 16GB RAM. Can I do it and will my motherboard support it? If yes, what is the specification of the RAM I need to order?

 

2) I am looking into buying a laptop for my son. What is the difference between HP Envy and HP Spectre? Can the same charging cable be used for both the HP ENVY and HP Spectre laptop.
