I want to get this laptop, but it only comes with 8g of RAM.
Does anyone know if the RAM is upgradable?
CPU: i5-1335U
512G SSD
16" WUXGA

First pretty much all memory is soldered now and the model tells you the ram so no the model ending is 8 only has 8 but if you change that to 16 it has 16 see here

649 for 16 GB

I don't know if I'd go quite that far. Anytime the specs say LPDDR you know it's soldered.

The trend with models that are using DDR5 is certainly towards soldered RAM. There are still models with socketed RAM or a mix of soldered and a single socket.

What I really dislike is soldered SSDs. SSDs are a wear item like tires on a car, and welding the lugnuts is pretty infuriating.

Wow if a car came with welded lug nuts that would basically mean throw the car away at 40,000 miles lol
