No, it doesn't.

I have a work desktop with 6GB RAM, with Win 10 I can easily have 10-15 chrome tabs open over multiple desktops with Spotify and my work software running without any noticeable slowdown.

Can anyone confirm the soldered 8gb isn't accompanied by 1 open ram slot for expansion? The description says expandable up to 16gb.

That should mean 8GB soldered and one open memory slot. Right?

I have a general question. Why do manufacturers solder the ram. What's the benefit?

I had a surface pro 5 with 8gb ram it is not powerful enough to run multi tabs especially if I have background apps running. This 8gb is soldered and if it is single channel then it is bad

It's in the description. Why don't you read?

8GB of memory is available to run your powerful programs and games. Memory is expandable by up to 16GB. Additional memory is sold separately.

i received this unit saturday. i opened it and the ram is soldered. there is no open slot for additional ram. i didnt do any more research before buying and the additional ram is quite important for my uses. i called cs to confirm that there is no ram and they will be picking it up tomorrow.

so that we are buying new laptops in 2 years instead of sticking with what we got.

Tried to get in before the outcry about the 8GB ram.

Please tell me what you plan to do on this budget laptop that requires more than 8GB of RAM?
Run Virtualbox.

So many ideapads. Same problems every time. Don't these have poor battery life as well?
