Now why you need a different Ram setup? LPDDR memory configuration are always done in Dual channel and this is as well. a 4266 MHz dual channel LPDDR4X will always perform better than a normal DDR4 3200 MHz Ram in dual channel. From where did you get the idea that this one not running in dual channel? The only complain is that the Ram is limited to 8GB.
Not looking to argue with you or protecting any other members, you can continue "running the streets" - the majority of comments are completely inaccurate around here.
And regarding battery life complain, have you heard the term Optimus?
I'm only bringing this up for any folks who think they are getting a full power MX450 when they definitely will not be.

You have to keep in mind this particular MX450 is 12-15 watts TGP (from HWInfo's readings) so it's the lowest power variant of the MX450.. Full power MX450 would be 25w. The performance uplift between Vega7 and M450 isn't as exaggerated in this particular machine but it's still a nice-to-have feature at the cost of having an inline GPU robbing battery life when idle since Optimus isn't perfect.

Regarding your MX450 TGP, there are plenty of tests and even the 12W version found in the ZenBook 14 or in HP Envy 13 (non-x360), outperforms Intel Iris Xe 96 EU version by more than 30%, although in some artificial benchmarks, Iris Xe scores higher. In any games or GPU accelerated workloads, MX450 always performs minimum 10% to up to 30% better. Now Vega 7 in this Processor is itself around 10% to 20% slower than Iris Xe in the first place.
Proof: Check the below reviews where the Zenbook 14 Intel version with i7-1165G7 and MX450 12W has been tested against Iris Xe.

LPDDR4: I am not sur from where you got that 4266 MHz dual channel only has 32 bit bandwidth because that is completely wrong. Unlike DDR4 memory which can only be configured in 2x32 bit mode to be operated in Dual Channel Mode, LPDDR4/X memory can be configured in 2x32 bit or 4x16 bit. In fact, there are Tiger Lake Laptops where the LPDDR4X memory run in Quad channel 4x16 bit. I think you probably goy confused with the 16 bit one, thinking dual channel means 2x16 bit. No, it can be 2x32 bit as well. That is the common feature of any LPDDR memory, whether 1, 2 or 3.
Anyway, technical discussion aside, I have personally benchmarked IdeaPad 5 14 and IdeaPad Slim 7, configured with Ryzen 7 4700U with same TDP, with the first one running 16GB DDR4 3200 whereas the later running 16GB LPDDR4X 4266MHz Ram and Slim 7 always performs better in every gaming benchmarks due to having a faster Ram.
I have an older zenbook UX305. love it and my mom is looking for a new laptop and prefers lighter laptops. so this might be a good fit

I actually think this is a really good deal, the 8gb non-upgradeable ram is the only reason I haven't pulled the trigger. Depending on what your mom uses it for, I doubt she would ever need more than 8gb. If it had 16 or the ability to upgrade, I would say this is an amazing deal.
