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.

I wanted to share the Zentimings observation on my laptop. I am comparing this to the Jarrod's timings and I see the exact timings as of the new memory from Jarrod's which is good, but not for the other part tRRDS, tRRDL, and tFAW. It is matching the same as that of the old one.
But I strongly believe the tRFC timings matter the most. So, if you happen to run the ZenTimings, and you see the attached timings ... I believe you will see good performance in games, the way it was meant to be and no need to swap out the memory unless you're going to 32 GB. That is approximately $103 upgrade - {$sale of old memory}.
My Graphics card NVRAM is Micron and not Samsung.
Please see the attached image.
Is there a way to get them to ship it to me from a far store?
