Microcenter is currently selling the HP 15-dy1751ms. .7" thick, 3.7 lbs, which is very good for a 15.6 screen (although it's a home model, so don't expect an aluminum case). Very fast CPU. Major downside is the 1366x768 screen (so place your bets now on who will be the first to say "768p? Pass"). Includes Bluetooth, 2xUSB 3.1 A and 1xUSB 3.1 C.

Two cons I can see:
1- 720p TN panel.
2- Non-Backlight keyboard.
Nevertheless it's a very good deal at this price point.

There may be a few very basic laptops whose RAM stick(s) are permanently soldered in place, but for the most part any new laptop will have at least 1 slot (and generally 2) either empty or with a removable stick.
Also note most companies still publish a "maximum memory" spec assuming 16gb sticks are the largest (e.g. a laptop with 2 slots will say it only officially supports up to 32gb of RAM), but the 32gb stick (or sticks) work fine, i.e the actual maximum memory is 64gb using two sticks such as the ones I linked above.
The laptop in this deal has 2 ram slots, and comes with a removable 8gb stick in one slot, and the other slot empty.
No joke. Don't spend almost $400 on a laptop and sacrifice the most important thing for daily use. Especially with all the deals flying around now with 1080p screens at this price point and even frequently at $350. 1366x768 screens shouldn't even be getting put with laptops at this price point anymore! Deals like this just lure people into making a bad choice.
And seriously, who here who has used a nice 1080p IPS laptop and can go back to using 768p on 15.6" screen?
