Lenovo needs to stop with the soldered memory. And do they still use whitelists for upgradable components like SSD drives and WiFi cards? The last laptop I bought from that brand was a huge frustration and I swore never again.
One memory soldered to systemboard, one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot, dual-channel capable

So you can probably change the 8gb chip for a 16gb and end up with 20gb if you wanted. Vendors max memory is not usually a true limit. The soldered memory is 4gb.

Is it worth returning the recent $450 17" HP deal and purchasing a Costco membership to get this deal?

I never understood 12Gb of RAM in a discount laptop !
It's either 8 or 16, what's with the 12 !?! Hurts my brain a lot (what's left of it 😁)

I disagree, most people don't need more than 8gb, the majority of the ones that do would just fine with 12gb.

Cause it's cheaper to solder on the motherboard, than paying suppliers for the SO-DIMM modules. Hahahaha
More up-sides than just [1] lower cost -- shedding the DIMM slot also [2] lowers total unit weight; [3] soldered has smaller footprint on the mb than a DIMM slot, eliminating a DIMM slot part weight, plus reducing mb size and weight; and [4] eliminates a potential point of failure that the DIMM module-to-slot contacts represent. Finally, [5] there's always the tiniest current leak in an electrical circuit for any physical connect like module-to-slot contacts. (If we put on our supply-chain caps, we can see even more advantages.)

lol you speak like a DIMM module design engineer. I know several of them about 15 years ago when module was a good business in SoCal.

People paying $499 for a laptop and then complaining it doesn't have the quality of a MacBook pro. Seriously lol. It's a budget laptop, there are going to be compromises.

Lol -- in a past work life, such matters were indeed important.

Yes. It was. It was cost and performance trade off. I remember those conversations. Cost down design changes. Component qualification for resistors and capacitors. I remember one project was to explore embedded resistors to replacing physical resistors. Save rooms and save cost.

Quote from 02nz :
Intel is a little faster in single-core, but AMD's a lot faster in multi-core, as it as 2 extra cores. AMD's Ryzen 4000/5000 also run a little cooler (and often with less fan noise).
Thank you for the explanation. Much appreciated!

Yes it does - the charger it comes with is actually usb-c so the only charger port for better or worse is usb-c
No, this one does not support USB C charge, the USB port is data only. No display out either. I'm returning this, for the galaxy pro, with earbuds $599. 8gb of ram downgrade, but everything else is better, including thunderbolt 4 port.

Sorry that's right I got confused with the Ideapad 5 deals - in general the 5 has Usb-c PD but the 3 doesn't it seems

Thank you. I was also looking at the Galxay pro. Would have been an easy choice if this one had USB C PD.
