Damn. Really wish I could upgrade the RAM. The cpu is solid but the RAM keeps it from being viable for the long term

Can the laptop be charged using a USB C power input ? (Not asking if it can send a charge out, rather whether he laptop itself can be charged using USB C)
Is the display MAtte (non glossy) ?

How does this 3 options compare? which one is better? I am basiclly looking for a laptop (smaller than 14") just for word, excel, powerpoint work and some YouTube watching. If there is other cheaper options, that will be great too.

PS: very sad I didn't save the AMEX Dell offer for the $100 statement credit, when I saw it I just thought how would I spend $500 on dell.com. Lesson learnt anyway, save it regardless whether I am gonna use it or not.

Got this one with the "$100 refurbished coupon" a while ago. Yes, it does support USB-C charging , it has a second NVMe SSD slot (very handy), sadly, RAM is soldered.
Very snappy device

Would this be considered a good laptop for gaming?

Costco model doesn't say anything about display port out over usb-c like this model. Anyone know if it has it?
