Although it's true in this case that statement is not necessarily true. A lot of Thin & Light budget or mid-range premium laptops come with completely soldered DDR4 ram. Examples are Lenovo Yoga 7i or HP Envy 13 x360. Both come with soldered DDR4 3200 memory. Lenovo Flex series from 2020, IdeaPad 5, both Ryzen and Intel, come with soldered DDR4 memory.
Using a network port that tops out at 100Mbps is odd. Everything else looks good.
It has DDR4 , so should be expandable. The RAM starting with L (LDDR4) is usually not expandable.

Seems like a reasonable laptop for basic web/productivity tasks.
FHD, 256GB SSD, and 8GB of RAM.
Roughly similar performance to an 10th Gen i3.
See - https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...3722vs3573

Mind you, these benchmarks should be used only for very general purposes. They are collected by home users on varying systems. Professional reviews try to minimize variances.

What ram can be used to supplement? It seems it might be a good value depending on upgrade cost of 8 GB more ram.

Any 2400 MHz Laptop SODIMM will work. Example below:

Better yet. Will it run Crysis though?

Should (will) run all those fine. It'll run CSGO and Valorant for sure as well.

You'll probably even be able to play Fortnite at 60 fps on low settings.
