I have Dell Latitude 7420 that someone tried to do a reinstall of the operating system on and now it won't boot the operating system. It says "Https Boot failed to initialize network connection" And to enable the WLAN in BIOS. I've done that and it still gives me that error. I can't connect it to ethernet to see if that would work because the damn thing doesn't have an ethernet plugin. Anyone know what to do?

Go in bios and verify your boot order… should move you hdd to the top of the list.. not sure it sounds like it cannot find your hdd where you did the install and is trying to boot off network drive or something like that

What DJ_SAMMY_D said. If your hd is set to boot first and you're still getting the same error than your MBR may have gotten hosed during the reinstall and you might have to reinstall windows.

Would've been reasonable if ram was half upgradable or fully upgradable
I think what's unreasonable is you expecting an under $500 laptop that has 16gb ram to be upgradeable. Good luck with that.

That's a 15.6" laptop. Those have a little more room to have memory slots. Harder to do that on a 14" chassis, especially one that is 3 lbs. Even so, I would say that's a rarity these days, not a "reasonable" expectation.

Ok, i know the price is def diffeent with this one here and not price comparable but....

https://slickdeals.net/f/15674887-adata-xpg-xenia-14-ultrabook-512gb-nvme-gen4-ssd-16gb-3200mhz-ddr4-intel-i5-1135g7-750-705-after-sd-cb-or-i7-1165g7-850-800-after-sd-cb-fs?v=1

My point is that it's not at all impossible to include two sodimm slots in a 14 in ulltralightweight at all. I've rather they ship me a laptop with two sodimm and include no ram at all for say $50 less than shipping me this thing with 16GB soldered. And btw, lenovo is notorious for doing this with their non gaming laptops.

It's not just Lenovo. Pretty much most of the major brands don't have expandable memory slots anymore. I never said it was impossible. From a business standpoint, it's not worth it for these mainstream companies to do so, to cut cost. Also, i believe LPDDR4 is only available soldered, and they help with decreasing power requirement, thus in theory increasing battery life. These company tailor to the masses, and MOST people would be thrilled just to have 16gb memory (as opposed to 8gb). You pointed to a niche laptop from a lesser known laptop and at a higher price.

The problem I have with the original statement I quoted is the word "reasonable". I just don't think that's a fair statement to expect expandable memory to be reasonable in ANY laptop these days. It's definitely a minority of laptops these days especially 14" or less and under $500.

Of course, you would rather them sell you a laptop with no memory and you put it in yourself, because it would be cheaper for you, but it's not cheaper for the company. Heck, why not do that to video cards, processors, displays, keyboards, hard drives, wifi cards like in desktops? If they did, you would upgrade your laptop much less frequently. How does that benefit the company?

I think Microcenter ASUS VivoBook 14 F415EA-UB51 for 399.00 is better deal.

Display color gamut is 45% NTSC and 66% of sRGB. I didn't even though they made displays with that low of a gamut. I pulled the trigger anyway - will be using as a Linux box and spending most of my time in a terminal window anyway.

It depends. OP's deal has Iris Xe vs UHD in yours. Also, yours has only 8GB RAM (soldered), though it has a second slot that is upgradeable.
