I am interested in this laptop but I find there is very little information on the internet. I have been unable to check reviews on the product. How upgradable is it? and other information that would help me decide about buying it.

Comes with 12 gigs of DDR4-2400 and can be upgraded to 16 gigs or 2 x 8 gig DDR4-2400. Here's the Service Manual so you can see how to get into the memory compartment.

There is some feedback from other Users that the AMD Ryzen systems can use 2 x 16 for 32 gigs. 

 

The video system is integrated and is the 

 

AMD Radeon Vega 6 Mobile Graphics (Ryzen 3 2300U processor)

 

The jury is still out a bit on Ryzen. In theory it is a game changer for AMD and rivals Intel Core systems but in practice we are seeing some complaints about its performance. 

 

If I were buying a new laptop I would stick with an Intel i5 or i7 system and hold off on the Ryzen until it proves itself more.

Thank you very much for the reply. Is it possible to also upgrade this system with an SSD? Is it possible to have a dual configuration? 

 

 

HP Recommended

Yes per the Manual supports a hard drive (2.5 inch) and an M.2 SSD either SATA or PCIe/NVME.

Once again thank you for your assistance. The last question, is there a way to adopt an external GPU to this computer? Or to improve the graphical processor?

HP Recommended

No;  eGPUs require a Thunderbolt port and your USB-C is data transfer only. There is no way to speed up the video system on the laptop itself.
