Folks should be aware that the Ram is soldered and cannot be upgraded.

I bought one on Saturday but haven't picked it up yet. Yes, 8GB of RAM, but for light work, having great build and a 120Hz OLED screen for this price is a good deal. I used some rewards which dropped to $265.

Hopefully it's in really good condition.

EDIT: Just noticed they LOWERED the price. I paid $330 for Open Box Good and this morning they are asking $303. Since I haven't picked it up, I wonder the best way to get the cheaper price?

EDIT2: To get the lower price, I canceled my order, waited for my rewards to redeposit (about 30 minutes) and checked stock again, and there it was. SO FOR ALL THE PEOPLE THAT "THUMBS DOWN" me who think $238 for an OLED 120Hz 13th gen laptop is a bad deal, I bought it again! Big Grin

There is no ram slot. Everything is soldered on. That's why it's cheap. Nobodyis buying.
8gb for windows is seriously not enough. Even the air with 8gb with arguably better memory management is trash. You NEED at least 12gb or 16.
If a 8gb can satisfy your demand. Go buy a tablet or something similar.

Which tablet did you have in mind with a 14" OLED 120Hz screen, keyboard and full array of ports for $325 that, in your opinion, is better than this?

I love how people say 8gb isn't enough when there are plenty of cloud gaming setups with 8gb.

Called BB, she did a search out 1000 miles across multiple states, no stock. If anyone finds this, you got a unicorn

I've had the older version of this for around 2 years with 8gb config and it has been more than fine for average everyday use. An open box for 325$ is a steal IMO.

while i don't appreciate the thoughtless decision to slap 8gb on this beautiful machine with oled panel, its not a serious constraint for anyone who is interested only in casual browsing and media consumption, especially on the gorgeous display. The whole bottleneck arises only if you are buying something knowing its not really going to support your needs, like buying this and expecting to use video rendering and photo editing what not..

I have this laptop. It's excellent in all regards. It's light, fast with a bright screen with a wide color gamut. The only downside is the non-upgradeable RAM which does hold it back when running applications that perform better with more memory.
If you only need a laptop for general use like web browsing and Microsoft Office programs, then it's a no-brainer.

How about today! Here's a hint: www.apple.com [apple.com]
Check out the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini, all at magnitudes higher prices.

This is completely irrelevant, and it's been discussed in this thread already. I was asking what the OP meant by their statement.

Perhaps you meant to respond to them.
