Yes, you can upgrade. Rather easily (I used Macrium). No, I did not see another slot.
Also, you can upgrade the Wifi Card to an AX card easily for about $12. The installed card is NOT WiFi6.

3.74 pound without gpu? It's battery time should be looong.
Think again. This has a fairly puny 45 WHr battery, with the large display that means pretty mediocre battery life (4-6 hours of normal use).

I was able to grab one from local BB for $430 BF deal. Took about 1 hr to update to Win 11 and disable S mode. Put it back in the box to gift wrap for my kid's Xmas present. Kid wanted a 15" touchscreen laptop and this fits the bill. 12GB RAM is cherry on top.

The HP seems to be a better deal if you don't care about touch screens.

The CPU in the HP deal has 6 cores while this Lenovo is 4 cores.

The SSD in the HP deal is also bigger (twice as big) than the 256GB in this Lenovo

The ram in the HP is 8gb which is less than the 12gb in this Lenovo, but the HP ram upgradable and can do dual channel while I personally hate soldered on ram (4gb) on the lenovo.

Not sure about build quality, is HP better or Lenovo

hi all, I purchased the Costco HP chromebook : https://www.costco.com/hp-14%22-t...95041.html during BF sale (still not opened). Would this Lenovo be better since it's the same price? TIA

This Lenovo is better.

1. Has Windows (Personally, I like windows because it can do more than the limited chrome OS)
2. Same CPU, but more Ram (4gb more)
3. Bigger screen

This one is going to be faaaar more versatile than any chromebook based laptop. The bonus that this one has 50% more RAM makes it a no-brainer. Chromebooks are okay if you want to use them as limited appliances rather than a full general purpose computer. And they are generally overpriced for being that limited.

Thanks, I'll keep the HP then. It's for my wife which will be used mainly for browsing and school work.

Just make sure when you are shopping for a AX201 that it is compatible with the laptop. The Intel AX201 and AX211 (as opposed to the AX200 and AX210) are CNVi based which means they don't have some of the components on the module itself and only work with systems designed to be compatible with CNVi (https://www.intel.com/content/www...ducts.html). This laptop may be CNVi compatible, but I haven't checked.

Thanks for informing me about this. I didn't know they offloaded components...kind of a scumbag move.

Makes for a lower cost module... but I prefer to have a full chipset module that can be used on various systems instead.
