- Yes. There are two SO-DIMM slots, so you can add or replace memory, and the M.2 SSD is replaceable through the bottom panel.
- Is the 8th-gen Core i7 still fast enough?
- For browsing, Office, video calls and study work, yes. It struggles with heavy video editing or modern gaming.
- Does it have Thunderbolt?
- The USB-C port on this model supports Thunderbolt 3, so it works with docks and external displays.
- How is it different from the 840 G6?
- The G6 is a mild refresh with the same chassis layout and slightly better internals. The G5 is the cheaper way into the same design and repairability.
- What should I check on a used unit?
