Q&A answers say you cannot add another 8GB memory to this. Is that true? This would be perfect for one of my parents but I'm worried about the 8GB for future proofing etc

Kind of hard to believe a 17 inches laptop RAM cannot be upgraded, I'm thinking about the engineer designing the motherboard, he probably was force to built it like that. If RAM were upgradable will be a hot deal. On top of that remember 17 inches HP Laptops have hinges failures problems, this one is guaranteed to break after 2 years.

It's true. My parents got one a week ago. They like the matte screen. 8GB RAM is enough since they only use 1 browser tab Smilie

From HP:
According to the specs for your notebook at the link below, it comes with 8 GB LPDDR5-5500 MT/s (onboard) memory.
You cannot upgrade the memory in your notebook since it is an integral part of the motherboard.

just by doing a quick youtube search "hp laptop hinges" you will find all the problems related with that. HP really sucks at that. They really want the laptop to break after 2 years.

I hate it. The problem is that CPU's are so powerful now that the RAM and SSD is all they have to push people to higher spec machines. The truth is that a N4000 is more than powerful for most people doing office work, surfing the web and simple gaming, but they nerf the performance with slow soldered RAM and a EMMC that is often slower than spinning drives. Basically everything they can do to make it seem like the CPU is slow when it is basically being bottlenecked by the connected components.
And yes, that CPU was from like 2017 - that is when processing speeds kind of stopped mattering for like 95% of what most people use their computers for. RAM and disk speed matter more to modern CPU's than anything else unless your doing hardcore / high resolution gaming.

If the ram starts with an L it cant be upgraded. This is LPDDR5 so no chance it can be upgraded.
