Upgrading HP Pavilion 15-eg3053cl

[jackcsprat]

Hello,

I am considering purchasing an HP Pavilion 15.6" 1080p Touchscreen laptop from Costco.

The model number is 15-eg3053cl and it comes with 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD drive.

I would like to find out if I can add another 1 TB SSD drive to use as storage while keeping the 512GB drive that

comes with the laptop.

Also, I would like to know what is the maximum amount of RAM for this laptop.

Lastly, is the HP Pavilion a good model to go with for just everyday email, web surfing, light Microsoft Office work ?

Thanks so much for any input on the above.

If it helps, here is the link to the Costco laptop that I am considering:

From the  Maintenance and Service Guide of the following link

It does NOT have dual storage options therefore you can not add, you can only replace the existing drive to a larger (capacity) drive

I am also looking at buying this from Costco.  What is the max supported RAM for this model?  Are both sticks replaceable or are they soldered?

Memory is removeable and replaceable. 2 modules. Specs say it maxes at 16 gb but will run 2 x 16 = 32 gigs DDR4-3200 So-DIMM
