Whenever you see LPDDR4x being mentioned, it's going to be soldered. So, yes it's soldered and not upgradeable.

There's a bit of confusion regarding the storage of this. Lenovo outlet [lenovo.com] and the eBay title states it to be 256GB, but the eBay description and another UK site [grelly.uk] states it to be 512GB.
Mentioned 256GB in my post just to be on the safe side.

You don't get to complain about memory on a $264 laptop (unless it's 4gb).

Any idea if this will run Far Cry 5? I'd say...maybe based on the i3 however the UHD graphics might make it a hard no.

For a brand new, there are 2 modes of Flex 5 equipped with i3-1215U with only differences of:
82R7003WUS [lenovo.com] : 256GB SSD/ Windows 11 Home in S mode/ Storm Grey
82R70009US [lenovo.com] : 512GB SSD/ Windows 11 Home/ Stone Blue

So, I would believe this should have a 256GB SSD only. I have serious doubt if it actually has a backlit keyboard (for US market variant).
Though the 8GB RAM is not upgradable, this is quite a good deal anyway for a 2-in-1 for just $265. But I am a bit hesitant given the bad feedback about the durabilty the hindges of Flex series.

Solid deal. 8Gb the only thing I don't like. Cpu is fast for single core work. I might have gotten this if I didn't get the 7300 refurb-needed windows Hello and more ram was desired.

This one a slightly better deal IMO: i3-1215U > i5-8665U, 8GB ram for light use aint matter much. 16:10 1080p IPS touch display
only <$20 difference

only downside is 256G small disk...
