Sadly the specs for RAM and SSD are not detailed.

Therefore the reason of this post is We need to know the following

RAM

  1. Is viable remove the 2 sticks of RAM? Or one is soldered?
  2. Can be used DDR4L instead of DDR4?
  3. What is the MHz required?
  4. What is the maximum RAM capacity? 32G? (2*16)

SSD

A. What is the kind of SSD used? SSD 2.5' or SSD PCIe?

B. If is SSD PCIe: What generation is required?

C. If is SSD PCIe: How many lanes are required?

Pls, answer each question.

Thanks in advance
