Can I use this computer as is, without purchasing any upgrades at this time?

Yes it came with window 8 which take a little time to get used to. It does not have Microsoft office how ever. What in particular do u want to do with the computer as is?

Yes...I haven't purchased anything and have been using it for two weeks. There is no MS office, but you can get open office for it and it won't cost you anything.

It runs out of the box, no purchasing for any upgrades needed.Note - even if incoming upgrade coming (from windows 8 to windows 8.1), it should be free or you can just reject.

You don't want this. I don't want it & if you'd really like it you may have mine. Most of the computer features are OK, great display & a great personal DVD player, but Windows 8 is impossible & quite unacceptable. My friends & family are buying Mac. Up to you. I'm stuck with this Windows 8 device.

RAM on this unit is soldered to the motherboard. No user upgrade possible. But you could upgrade the drive (SSD).

I just watched a video on youtube that answered this question. It seems really easy, there is an underpanel that allows for easy upgrade. Check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55qZwSqOIkk

I do not believe the RAM can be upgraded. Not sure about any other hardware.

look up your computer specs and see what speed your computer can handle it may not let you upgrade that much

There is an access panel on the back to upgrade the RAM, but I do not believe there is any way to upgrade the graphics or sound cards.

I don't know if you can or not. But the computer is very fast out of the box

John Aho,You can upgrade the graphics card, or any other component, as you choose. Please note that any component that is properly installed and does not damage the system will *not* void the warranty on the computer.

You cannot upgrade the processor but you can upgrade the Graphics Card to anything that will support the PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot

No you cannot. All laptop manufacturers have been built this way since the beginning. Laptops are built whwre everything basic is on the system board. All you can hardware upgrade is HDD, ODD, Ram. Whatever video you got with the Laptop is permanent. Nvidia, ATI, Intel built graphics. I prefer Nvidia.

Taylor P. Our systems do not use any proprietary parts, so you are free to upgrade anything you want, over the life of your system. And proper installation of new components does *NOT* void your warranty.

You must upgrade online. Not a big deal but requires Microsoft operating system.

That would be a "NO" If I read the specs right you are running PC-2700 and that in no way can be upgraded to what you want.
