Is screen 1080P? There is also same thing with an 8250u for $379 but the answered question says that one is 768p, despite the description saying "full high definition"

This think can't honestly only have 4GB of RAM, can it? None of the configurations in the Lenovo site show that.

Agreed. 4GB of ram seems low. I also don't understand why so many of these $500+ laptops are equipped with slow hard drives. I really wish SSD would be the standard.

sort of, it only has 4gb of actual RAM, and then it has that 16gb Optane module, which works between the HDD and the RAM as a kind of HDD independent version of an SSHDD. so commonly used files get loaded onto the high speed Optane SSD module automatically by the OS/firmware, and then the 4gb of RAM can access them rapidly more quickly than an HDD.

so, plus side is that there's at least one M.2 slot (that's what Optane connects to), and you can even get an upgraded Optane module if you want (they go up to 32GB).

Potential downside is if the RAM is soldered in, as opposed to swappable, you're stuck with a beast of a mobile processor bottlenecked by only 4gb of RAM cause Intel wanted to do some bullshit show-boating of a garbage technology

however, if its at least 1080p and the memory, HDD, and optical drives are swappable, you could move the 1TB hdd over to the optical drive slot for extra storage, put in an ssd for primary, and upgrade the RAM to 16-32GB and have a damn nice computer using other deals on SD for probably around $6-800 depending on how big of an SSD you want and how much RAM you want.

Only thing I see that could really make it better would be some sort of independent/discreet graphics, wouldn't even have to be crazy nice, just not Intel integrated, and not sucking off the low 4GB of ram the system already has (or whatever you upgrade it to)

I read through the specs in Lenovo's site and it appears that they have built-in RAM and then a SODIMM slot, with 4GB commonly being in one of those two slots. I am hoping one of this is what's reported here and there is really 8GB. That being said, my wife's company offers Lenovo 'deals' all the time and they are usually good sounding computers with jacked up configurations in some manner. And this device part number appears to be one designed for business.

Either way, at worst an 8GB sodimm can likely be added which will run around $80. For a total of 12GB (hopefully).
