Buyers who need more than 128 GB of local storage should consider a different configuration. The integrated graphics are not intended for demanding 3D applications or gaming.
128 GB NVMe SSD decides fit
The single 128 GB PCIe NVMe drive determines whether this unit meets your capacity requirements. No mechanical hard drive is present and no additional storage is included. Verify that this space is sufficient for your operating system, applications and active files before purchase. Memory is fixed at 8 GB DDR4-2400 with no upgrade path mentioned.
