Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Not upgradable, correct?

ETA: Confirmed. Hard pass on being stuck at 8GB

They made a decent product here then basically nerfed the potential with the ram.

Pros
-Nice screen
-Great ports
-Thin and light
-Reasonable latest gen processor
-75wh battery

There's a lot to like.

How good is this device.
Mostly for being plugged into a monitor and used at home. Looking at something that would last a few good years. The latest gen is the 15th gen from Intel am I wrong in thinking the CPU is already 3 years old?

Just a ludicrous choice to build a device this nice and give it half the requisite RAM.

Non upgradable ram of 8gb just makes this nonusable.
It's 2024, we need atleast 16gb now.

Do people get commission for complaining about "only 8GB of RAM" or acting surprised that the RAM is soldered (which sadly is the norm)?*

*The industry standard in this price point is NON-upgradable RAM. Not even worth asking 99.8% of the time unless it is a gaming, creator, or desktop replacement laptop.

Now, an adult question: where does the 'Ultra 5 125H' stack in tier compared to Intels other 73 lines of mobile processors? The Ultra series are a step up from your standard 'Core' SKU's, correct?

That's your opinion. What are you trying to do that you need 16GB?

You're wrong. 8GB of ram is great for 4K YouTube.

What do you need 16GB of ram for anyway? I have this exact laptop and use it for work. I have excel opened, my work virtual environment and a browser with multiple tabs and it works flawlessly. Also, the battery is fantastic and right up there with my M3 MacBook Air.

Then pass. 8GB is perfectly fine for Microsoft office, web browsing, YouTube, music creation, light video editing.

You need to do some serious cleaning of your PC if you can't run 4K YouTube with 8GB of RAM.
