The reason the RAM is not upgradeable is because it's LP RAM. This is always soldered to the motherboard, but it's also significantly faster than upgradable RAM.

Most of the IO looks good, except the HDMI port is still 1.4. That means 1080p60 or 4K30 output unless you buy a Type C adapter that supports something better.

It uses a round charge port instead of the stupid Lenovo USB-shaped charge port, which is nice. Battery is medium-sized, and it has Type C charging as well, so charging it often wouldn't be an issue anyways. Lenovo has one of the better battery management systems for laptops, so you can leave it plugged in without worrying about killing it.

Unfortunately, this is still Zen2, and is actually just a rebranded 4800u. The PCIE 4.0 SSD is pointless, as it doesn't support that speed. Ryzen 6K has been out for a while, and 7K is about to come out as well. They are both much faster than this, so IMO, this is a terrible deal for a laptop that has been out for almost 3 years now.

Here's the same model, direct from Lenovo but with 8GB RAM (soldered, so no expanding it) for $530:

I'd really like to know if their "Digital Pen" is included. The listing doesn't specify but there's a pic of it with the pen. The user manual just states:
"Selected models are equipped with Lenovo Digital Pen"

Otherwise that's a separate $40 purchase.

There's a chance that it's not included. It could just be listing the compatibility. On the manufacturer brochure, it says "Pen: Lenovo Digital Pen" but it also says "Bundled Accessories: None"

Here's a review from 2021, but it has the same specs. He mentions that the pen wasn't included.

The RAM for the 16GB model is also soldered to the motherboard:

yeah pretty darn good deal for $600. i have a 4500u with 16 gb ram and its a fantastic work horse of a processor (i do graphic design and video editing) the 5700u is of course even faster so yes this is a good spec laptop for the price.

Acer Aspire Vero from Costco still feels like a better deal than this, yea?

Big difference is this has a touchscreen...otherwise the Acer seems superior in every way (Has newest gen of USB c) but lmk if I understand incorrectly

Acer was also $450...
