From BB Q&A:
'Unfortunately the memory is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded.'

Thanks for heads up, that alone is a deal breaker for me

I have seen this laptop in person at BB. It got one of the best screen out there in $600 something. Open box starts under $400. Metal build, good display, small bezels. If your work is good enough at 8gb ram, or you can work with Linux to manage under 8gb, it's a nice deal

Memory is soldered. M.2 is not.

You can order open-box for ~$400, that should be an excellent deal.

M2 is not meaning you can add more ram? That's my only hangup with this machine

Just picked one up. Used my discover it card to get 5 percent CB. Thanks OP! The inclusion of the gpu makes it less of an issue that memory is soldered as ram won't be shared with gpu. Will also setup memory swap with ssd.

yeah I own this and don't understand why they didn't include usb c charging, the port is basically a usb data port. the charger it comes with sucks, short and needle like connector so if it breaks good luck finding 3rd party option.

if this had usb c charging I would have been more happy with it.
