Thank you, but you made a mistake. Lenovo PSREF [lenovo.com] (Part Number : 82QD00DHUS) says 8GB Soldered DDR4-3200 and one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot so memory IS UPGRADABLE.
I believe you have replied to a wrong post (which should be here)

I have a Target version. Solid laptop. The 12gen I3 is great. My version has a fingerprint scanner - meh. I was never a fan of touch screens on a laptop but if you like it it will be good. Mine has an on board SSD with an open M.2 slot. I am an Excel/Access user with no problems. At this price point it is a solid buy.

Added a 32gb 3200 RAM module and the system recognizes 40 gb total. Replaced the shorter 256gb NVME SSD with a full-length 1TB NVME SSD after cloning the whole drive.
It takes a T5 screwdriver to remove 6 long and 4 short screws. Had to use a plastic pry tool to unclip the bottom cover after T5 screws were removed.
The screen at full brightness looks the same as a 250-nit screen side by side, even though the spec says 300-nit.

What are people doing with this inexpensive laptop that they need more than 16GB of RAM?

I don have a preference on those features. How about performance and reliability?

This one is pretty good with a memory upgrade for light users.

Via Lenovo website, confirming ID.ME, free Best Buy pickup , and an extra $10 coupon on Lenovo website… Came out to $239.99 before tax.

Pretty decent deal especially if you upgrade with a 16gb stick and expand storage on the M.2 slot.

Finger is on the trigger… "Do I need another computer?"

What is is the extra ID.me coupon?

Does anyone can recommend between this one and Samsung $320 book 4? Which one would be better?

Bought this. One ddr4 sodimm slot available, which I installed a stick of 32gb without any issues. Comes with m.2 2242 extended, which can be unscrewed to install regular NVME. Windows 10 will not recognize motherboard, just fyi if you try to do a fresh install.

I believe buying direct from Lenovo, you need an ID.me. Without it, you weren't able to add to your cart at $249.99. There was an extra $10 coupon BBYBOPIS bringing the price before tax to $239.99. Pick up at Best Buy. I don't believe there was a shipping option.

Hope that helps

I bit. I needed a computer for basic computing tasks and light strategy gaming. 12th gen I3 is fine - expandable ram is a plus - and the screen, while not amazing, is IPS and definitely good enough. I'm always down on Lenovo Ideapads because of the hinge issue, but I'll gamble for $250.

It's the best cheap windows laptop you're going to find.

Just got this. Couldn't get it out of S mode. Tried everything you can imagine. This laptop is basically useless. Returning tomorrow

UPDATE: manually Installed all windows updates on window update page. An hour later got it out of S mode. S mode is the most useless thing Bill Gates ever created. You can't even install chrome on it when S mode is on lol.

Did you follow the steps below? I have so far had no problem doing so with 20+ laptops I set up before.

Lol I'm wondering too.

The cpu would bottleneck before it even gets close to full ram usage I would think.
