This model was well discussed in the 5500U version of this same computer that Costco is still selling too.

RAM is 3200mhz per Lenovo and verified by my own check on the computer in front of me, not 2666mhz. 4GB of ram is soldered, and 8GB is a removeable sodimm. I don't know that anybody has posted actually replacing the 8gb chip with a 16gb or 32gb, but the CPU supports up to 2x 32gb so it should be good to go. You'll only get partial dual channel though, 2x4gb regardless of the size of the second chip you put in there.
HDMI 1.4b will support 1440p monitor at 60hz, despite a mistaken Tom's Hardware forum post from 10 years ago.
FYI: Floridians, our tax holiday ends tonight at midnight! This applies to the first $1,000 of the sales tax price of personal computers or personal computer-related accessories.

This apparently has to be requested through Costco , see this page [costco.com]:

Do you mean that we can chat in the Costco mobile app to get the $50 off of $500 coupon code? Does anyone have a code I could use for my kid?

I thought Ryzen odd numbers in the 5000 series are still based on 3rd gen (Zen 3)?
Maybe you only meant 5000 series? They chose poorly on how to identify.
Zen is the chip architecture, separate from the cpu generations. Some of the 5th gen chips still use zen 2 architecture including the 5700U. Here is a good article that explains AMD's numbering scheme:

There isn't. Usb-c is for data only and does not support alt-mode which you need for those adapter.
Can you help understand this better?

Would this work as a Plex Server? I currently use my main PC but I would like to have a second device I can use as a server 24/7 without interruptions.
I believe there are better cheaper options out there if you google plex media servers.

If you haven't already bought the 5500u, I would spend the extra $50 for the 5700u. For most people, no, and in fact the 5500u might be a little more efficient for battery life, but it would be marginal.

You have to chat with a live rep. I had to wait for 15 - 20 minutes to connect and they were able to send me a code after I asked them. I did tell them that I was planning a big purchase and initially asked for the $100 off $500 coupon.

They did take a few minutes to review the account before issuing the coupon code so definitely YMMV.
