A: Hi, BlueButterfly! Regarding your question about the HP 15.6" FHD Laptop - Windows 11 Home in S Mode - AMD Ryzen 5 Processor - 8GB RAM - 512GB SSD Flash Storage - Silver (15-ef2040tg): What HP meant by you not being able to add RAM typically means that the RAM is soldered to the motherboard and can't be removed by conventional means. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact MyTGTtech at 877-698-4883 every day, between 7am-11pm CST.

A: Hello, I found out that once you get out of S mode, you can never get it back and S mode has added protection and improved performance. But to get out of S mode, you can find it in PlayStore and search, switch out of S mode.

Regarding your question about the HP 15.6" FHD Laptop - Windows 11 Home in S Mode - AMD Ryzen 5 Processor - 8GB RAM - 512GB SSD Flash Storage - Silver (15-ef2040tg): I would recommend one of the models with a built in graphics card.

A: Hello, Ana! Thank you for your question! The HP 15.6" Laptop (15-ef2040tg) does not meet the requirements set by the manufacturers for Maya and Blender. I would recommend one of our HP Pavilion Gaming or Omen systems with a dedicated graphics card. The system can have its ram increased to a maximum of 32GB.
A: This laptop webcam has a True Vision 720p HD camera.
A: The Windows Store doesn't have the Zoom client available for download. However, you can connect to a Zoom meeting with the online Zoom web portal.
A: Thank you for reaching out. The HP 15-ef2040tg laptop has a stated battery life of up to 9 hours and 30 minutes and supports battery fast charge: approximately 50% in 45 minutes. Quicker drain is most likely because you need to adjust power settings when using on battery power. Screen brightness, number of active apps, use of WiFi...basically how hard the laptop is working, all affect battery life. (Battery life tested by HP using continuous FHD video playback, 1080p (1920x1080) resolution, 150 nits brightness, system audio level at 17%, player audio level at 100%, played full-screen from local storage, headphone attached, wireless on but not connected.)
