Also, this specific model from Walmart is often mentioned as having "bad" RAM. It isn't bad, per se, but rather the fact that the timing can vary based on the exact RAM installed.
A second NVMe storage bay is available, and a 2TB NVMe works fine in either.

For those comparing this laptop to others with faster processors, etc., keep in mind that a 5800 will run a lot faster than a throttled 5900 in a thin or poorly-cooled laptop.
The RAM in this Walmart laptop is the slow tRFC timings. You'll want to upgrade to new RAM if you want the best gaming performance.
Yes, the RAM and storage are not soldered, and so you can replace them no problem.

No. That was due to the system ram not the VRAM on the video card. If you have micron VRAM on your GPU, you will take a performance hit and have higher power draw vs Samsung VRAM.

I got a Timespy Graphics score of 11,606 with +1300 on memory and +150 on the core.
Stock desktop 3060 Ti score 11,833

I think with a bit more tweaking I could probably match desktop 3060 Ti but my score is within the margin of error and essentially the same.
This is also 8-9% better than the 200 watt RTX 2080 my older Asus ROG laptop had. That unit with tax was $4000. Yet here we are at only $1400 scoring higher both in CPU and GPU.

At $1400 its definitely the best laptop I've ever bought for the money. The build quality is fantastic and the screen is lovely. Well worth the price, even with Micron vram. It's still going to mostly pay itself off which I can't say about most of my other purchases.
