I kind of figured. My current has 2 slots (came with a 4 GB and 2GB)..maxes at 8 GB, so all I really could do is swap out the 2 GB for another 4GB. I mean I still get by, but just barely while working on some of my Data Science assignments in my masters program. And there's some machine learning libraries that utilize the gpu but only supported with Nvidia...it makes a world of a difference....What takes my laptop to process some data 12+ hours, takes literally 1-2 minutes instead if I could utilize the gpu, so I coldn't even bother with some of it in class....Plus it'll give me a reason to getting back into gaming ;-)

When you do eventually purchase this (or even if it's a different one), please write up a review on steemit. I'd love to hear about your thoughts once you actually get going on it.
