Hello, This laptop has the following graphic cards installed :Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT750M Discrete graphics (SLI) with 2GB dedicated DDR5 VRA. The ram is installed in a 2X4GB and is does not have a 24 GB SSD installed. Than kyou, Jesse

It has a single 204-pin SODIMM slot for RAM, so it can be expanded if you're tech-savvy. However, you'll have to discard the 2GB DIMM that comes in it because there's only one slot. I believe the SSD can also be upgraded.

I'm running maya 2013 on mine. So far, I can tell you the biggest drawbacks of using maya on the y510p for me have been the lack of a second screen and the fact that you will basically be required to use a usb mouse since the trackpad won't be able to handle it. But I'm guessing you already know about those. The graphics card holds up pretty well, even while using viewport 2.0, and I've been rendering using Octane which utilizes both GPUs for a pretty solid performance. I haven't done any big renders pushing the CPU, but I imagine it'd work about what you'd expect for an i7. Also, this has been my first laptop with a number pad, and it has made life so much nicer for this type of work. All in all, it's very solid. You could probably find a laptop that could do better in maya, but it would also probably be huge and very expensive. I'm very satisfied with the performance of mine in this regard. Did you have any specific questions?

I've seen the same way of describing the ssd in other computers and they only contain 1 ssd drive. On the Sony website there is no mention of 2 separate hard drives. I am reasonably sure this model only has a I7 2.0 ghz processor and 1 256 gb ssd. I'm ordering one today. I was confused at first also

What type of speed are you looking for on your ram?When I was researching it said that up to 2400 MHz and Kingston hyper x ram was on sale for a pretty good deal. But if you are looking for looks and performance i would suggest the corsair deliminator platinum (they are rediciously expensive). But yes the motherboard will take both SSD and HDD I have a 2tb with two ssds in raid zero. Runs great!!. Hope this helps.

Hello. Ive purchased and currently own this product. This computer has SSD of 256GB and you can use slightly less than that. (The model that is described here) Thank you and let me know if you have any question!

It will be fine but you can't do SLI for Nvidia if you want to go that route just single card. Great board btw.

Check out the differences between the 1513 and the 1512 and consider if they are worth the extra $100 to you or not. Me personally, I always try to get the latest model when it's not a bank breaker. To be honest though, 2GB of RAM and 4 ethernet ports are not that much of an upgrade. I purchased the additional 1GB of RAM for my 1512 to bump it up to 2GB, think I picked it up here on Amazon for around $30. I highly recommend getting the extra memory for the 1512 if you go that route.

No one appreciates forward thinking more than I do, but consider that this model already sports a dual-core processor. It also has nearly 4 Gb of RAM (enough for one of the two 64-bit cores) and a relatively small screen. My point is this: for $300.00 it is an outstanding value. I use my quad-core machine with 16 Gb (RAM) desktop to do the heavy processing in my life - this machine is perfect for the periphery work that I do whenever I'm not at home. Can the processor be upgraded? Perhaps - but with much difficulty. And yes it is soldered in but that isn't the main issue here. Quad core, Hex core, and everything on up would require a RAM upgrade to utilize those processors effectively - otherwise one may be throwing $$$s and time out of the window when it may be more cost and time efficient to simply buy a more powerful netbook, laptop, etc. with the power-user features already baked in. I hope this helps.

hello, Asus told me that I can upgrade to 256gb ssd. I am planning to upgrade in the future when the ssd have a better price. I think it's a good buy

Y50 is way better choice. Not all games are SLI compatible(Titanfall got after many months and still not perfectly compatible). So in many games single 750M can hardly run in Medium settings in 1080p. I've had occasional screen tearing issues for BF4 due to the way SLI rendering.860m is equivalent to 770m in performance(fps) with less heat dissipation. For Single player games i5(dual core) is plenty; i7(quad core) shows its prowess in Multiplayers(Battlefield4 64player conquest etc..) Just note that Y50 got terrible screen with washed out colors worse than y510p(check notebookcheck.net site for details). I suggest to take a look in person before buying y50.

I didn't realize the SSD was user upgradeable? In any case, I ended up ordering from Adorama for $1029 (free ship). Now I just have to patiently wait...

You have picked a very nice motherboard. I will post the ram I have in mine, it cost, but it really depends on how much you want to spend. Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory (CMD32GX3M4A2133C9). You can get cheaper ram, but make sure it is DDR3 ram for this board. I think Corsair is the best, but Kingston is good also. Yes, you can put both an SSD and HDD on that board. You should load your OS on the SSD drive since it is much faster than the HDD. I would recommend the Samsung 500GB SSD drive 840 Series, and the Velociraptor 1TB HDD. I have built lot's of computers, and these motherboards are really the top. If I can help you with any other questions you have just let me know.

As one of the primary reasons for choosing this model, I can confirm it comes with a 120gb SSD. It boots on the SSD almost instantly. Very fast laptop.

I'm sorry. I don't have that kind of information. But there's a model with a 2GB graphics card.

I see it as 1799 on Samsung's site. Are you sure you're looking at the correct model? There is one with an i5/4gb RAM/128gb SSD - this one is an i7/8gb RAM/256gb SSD

First of all this is an EXCELLENT SSD. The other SSD I had was a OCZ and it was not even close to this one. I do a lot of picture editing which I think this SSD drive is good for that. Right now I have 2,200 pictures on the drive plus all my programs and I still have 90GB left. I think you could get by with the 128GB but would regret it later. I would suggest the 256gb. Speed difference is the first thing you will notice! My laptop boots up in about 10-12 seconds. I think you have make an excellent choice
