Whenever you see LPDDR(4 or 5) that means "low power" which is 99% of the time soldered ram.
I have one of these. As far as Chromebooks are concerned, it's one of the better ones you can get. High refresh rate QHD screen is great, though the screen can be a little dim at times. Pushing QHD 120hz over Steam remote play can be a big ask of your network hardware, but what's cool is you can also use the Steam for Chromebooks beta and install a bunch of games natively that run over Vulcan instead of DX. Easy way to get a fix for older games like XCom etc.

Battery life isn't awesome for a Chromebook, but given that it's a 120hz QHD screen that isn't a real surprise.
It's only a standard Type-C port, not Thunderbolt. An eGPU won't work with this, sadly.

For battery you want something like an HP 11a. Can get 15hrs doing office type work. I have the Samsung 4+ too, and battery is quite a bit lower at 8-9hrs.

I believe it's 100% of the time actually, I don't think that the trace length + connector losses allow for a socket-able lpddr module (which runs at a significantly lower voltage than sodimm modules)

Well, you know the internet. If I said 100% of the time, some know-it-all will come after me with the one oddball motherboard that exists capable of using slotted LPDDR memory.
