No. 5000 series has the open slot. LPDDR4X is soldered ram, and almost always not upgradable

Thanks, 8gb soldered ram is a deal breaker for me. Otherwise nice specs.

An XPS 9310 with similar spec and 1920x1200 resolution display, will cost you at least $1000. You'll get slightly better build quality, smaller foot print due to smaller screen size and brughter display which is better for outdoor visibility.
Apart from that, you are not missing anything but actually getting something over XPS.

It has higher resolution QHD 16:10 display and it is slightly bigger as well. the 330 nits brightness is enough for indoor use, even in brightly lit rooms.
You are getting Thunderbolt 4 port + Legacy USB-A Ports and HDMI 2.0 ports whereas XPS only gives you Thunderbolt 4 Type-C port and you need a hub for plugging your legacy accessories.
The build quality, while not XPS level, is very good, with full metal construct and it is very light weight as well.
Now, the price is almost half of a similarly configured XPS which is really great for this device and what it offers.

Quote from yourxp :
I can't be sure cos I was not involved in the validation of Dell platforms. If the existing 8GB runs in 1 channel, the addition of symmetrical SoDIMM makes it dual-channel.

You can verify using CPU-Z.
Do I need to buy any specific RAM or would any compatible RAM module be fine and it then depends on the Dell's hardware decisions?

16 gb is pretty much a mandatory nowadays. 8 gb soldered truly a dealbreaker
Agree... going to have to thumbs down for 8GB non-upgradable RAM.

Anyone know how Dell cycles their deals? What are the odds some similar deals popup in the next week compared to the current ones before amex deal expires. There are 3 laptops I'm looking at now and all have drawbacks to me. Wish I could pay a little more for this with more ram and a bigger ssd.

I am very happy with my two Lenovo Yoga's. The 730 series is known for flickering screens due to the cable coming lose due to how tight it is in the hinge. There is a lot of contention on some forums and subreddits about their security and how much personal data they share. Lenovo has their issues.

That said, I agree with your sentiment. They are, overall, solid products.

should try and get same speed sodimm, capacity is more iffy, I heard if you added a 16gb module for example to an 8gb module, the first 8 gb on each slot is dual channel and the last 8 left over acts as single channel memory

Dell has seriously upped their game on the Inspiron line. I remember when they use to be plastic only. Total junk back then but now it looks like they're high quality devices.

Quote from yourxp :
The graphics performance suck didn't it?
Checkout reviews of Iris Xe on 8GB and 16GB in dual-channel. The scores are a lot higher.

And why? Cos the memory config are asymmetrical. And yes, I could have been more specific.

PS: I work w Intel engineers and we argued till the cows came home.
The performance you're referring...is it 8GB dual channel vs 16GB dual or 8GB single vs 16GB dual?

If I'm upgrading my 5000 Inspiron laptop with more RAM and it by default has 8GB RAM, and adding another ram stick, how do I ensure I get dual-channel?
Just adding another 8GB ram of same speed, which is 3200 MHz, will make it run dual channel.

Just get a same speed Ram and that's it. You don't need to buy same exact model.

This is actually a very good deal. 8GB is more usable on Windows than recent versions of macOS.
