Q: I see the ram is 2 8gb sticks that totals 16gb ram. I ordered 1 16gb ram stick for extra ram. Would I just be able to remove one of the 9gb sticks and replace it with a 16gb one? What about SSD?
A: The RAM for this model can only go up to 16GB (DDR4-3200), with the following configurations: 16 GB (8 GB × 2), 12 GB (8 GB + 4 GB), or 8 GB (8 GB × 1 or 4 GB × 2). For the SSD, you can go up to 1TB (M.2 solid-state drive (PCIe-4×4, 2280, non-volatile memory express (NVMe), three-layer cell (TLC)).

Q: What is speed of memory 3200 DDR4? Is graphics card 3050 upgradable? What is the memory for graphics card nvidia says 8 gig ? Is the RAM soldered not upgradable? Thunderbolt? 200 watt power?
A: The DDR4 ram runs at a speed of 3200 MHz. Because of the way laptops are designed, a discrete graphics card had to be custom fit for it. As far as I know, there isn't an upgraded card that can be used to replace the RTX 3050 installed. The 8 gigabytes listed for the video card is for one of the ones you can add to a desktop. The card in this laptop has 4 gigabytes. I'm not seeing any information showing that the RAM is upgradable. The laptop does come with a 200 watt charger, but it does not have any Thundebolt ports.
