I do want to point out that this 15.6" unit has a conventional 16x9 aspect ratio screen and not the 16x10 that is on the larger Gram series laptops. It seems like a minor point, but for those of us who enjoy (or need) the extra vertical screen space, this should be known.
Others will undoubtedly start trashing this deal due to the 'specs versus price' argument, but these Grams fit into a specific niche market; a niche that some just won't "get". If you are someone who constantly moves your laptop to different places, these are simply fantastic. An excellent balance of thin, light, durable, and powerful enough to competently handle the tasks required by the vast majority of the working public. (Not everyone is a gamer.) And I almost forgot to mention the almost unbelievable battery life.
And to address the durability: The flexibility of the magnesium alloy chassis is a good thing, not a flaw. It allows the unit to absorb impacts gracefully instead of breaking or cracking. There are videos from a few years ago of people abusing and beating the snot out of the early Grams, and they keep on going. I'm typing this on a 3-year old 17" Gram that has had a relatively rough life... and it just keeps going & going & going.
Is there any chance (though slim) that the ssd and ram can be upgraded or are they soldered in?

nvme drive - yes
RAM - no
BTW I've been eyeing the one and it's been $999 for the longest time. Curious when/how it was $900?
