I can hardly believe that a 16" laptop is non-upgradeable. Boggles the mind.
Especially when it is regular DDR4, which does not have to be soldered. At this point any new laptop with only 8GB soldered is little better than e-waste.
8gb soldered ram with no slots kills it. Can't be that much savings, why do they keep crippling tech?

Indeed why not LPDDR4X 4267? At least then there would be a point in soldering it.
Just wait a bit and get DDR5 USB 4 and a much better Gen 12 or Ryzen 6000 series. 12GB DDR should be the min especially with Ryzen which uses 2 GB of it.
Slickdeals should ban posting of laptops with 8GB that cost more than $400.
Hey, if this was upgradeable, I'd seriously consider it. My friend has the IdeaPad Gaming with the same CPU but a very inferior screen, and it's lightning-fast. This screen would be incredible but the whole machine is gimped with forever-8gb of RAM.

And graphics for that rather good screen (16:10 as well as 2560) will take more of the system RAM than a regular FHD - how frustrating…

Yeah it's a bummer. The Vega 8 I-GPU will run plenty of stuff but it uses system ram so you could have 2GB+ used by that. It's kinda sus that a 4.5lb laptop doesn't have removable ram, I'll bet the build quality on this is similar to the garbage Flex 5's they had on sale a year or so ago.

I'm rocking a Razerphone 2 with 8gb ram from 2018.
This sucks, such a good spec but the 8gb non upgradeable ram means it'll never be purchased.
