- Configurable option: 15.6" UltraSharp UHD IGZO 4k (3840x2160) Touch screen
- Note: We have experienced some issues with application scaling (specifically, particularly in the Adobe Suite) on the 4k screen wherein menus and icons become tiny and therefore hard to read/identify. Please contact us if you have questions before upgrading to this option.
- Configurable option: 15.6" UltraSharp UHD IGZO 4k (3840x2160) Touch screen
- Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-6820HQ (Quad Core 2.70GHz)
- Graphics card: NVIDIA® Quadro® M1000M w/ 2GB GDDR5
- Memory (RAM): 16GB, DDR4-2133MHz SDRAM in one slot (DIMM)
- Configurable option: 32GB, DDR4-2133MHz SDRAM in two slots (DIMMS)
- Note: With the standard RAM configuration only using one slot, it could be expanded later - up to the laptop's maximum of 32GB.
- Storage: 256GB M.2 solid state drive
- Configurable option: 512GB M.2 solid state drive
- Note: While it is possible to upgrade this later, the existing drive would need to be removed and the new blank one installed, which would require a full OS install plus all software and a data backup/restore. This is very time-consuming and can be very frustrating for those unfamiliar with the process, therefore our recommendation is purchase the largest drive you can afford at the initial laptop purchase.

- Operating System: Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, English, French, Spanish
- Note: We have had success using Windows 10 with the software required by SOA's courses and are confident recommending it to our students. If you are not ready to start using Windows 10 and want to install an earlier version, it will require that you purchase a new copy of the version you want to use, erase the drive, and install Windows and all the software. Like replacing the drive, is very time-consuming and can be very frustrating for those unfamiliar with the process. Please also be aware that Windows 7 is the oldest version that is compatible with the software taught at SOA and our 'next best' recommendation is Windows 8.1 (not version 8).
