I waited for this one because of its weight. Finally I was able to order one! This is the one recommended by Dave2D (thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it).
Note that one downside to this inexpensive unit is the screen. Touch pad isn't glass but works fine. An equivalent spec unit is about $150-200 more.

8gb ram is disappointment/bottleneck for that CPU! Is it upgradeable?

Definitely a deal breaker. 16GB is about the minimum you'd want for any laptop you're purchasing and hoping to last a long time.

So tired of seeing all these crippled Ryzen 4000 series laptops. Is Intel paying the manufacturers to intentionally cripple these machines? Even my phone has more RAM than this laptop!

Offering 8GB is fine as long as there is a way to upgrade the memory. 8GB soldered is just inexcusable.

Seems like most have 8GB. Can't be a coincidence, since it's across OEMs. Hmm...

Yeah, definitely some shady deals going on here between Intel and the manufacturers.
