This is a office only computer.It cannot be upgraded to convert to better ram or storage size. Everything is soldered in. Its how HP controls their systems now. No work around allowed. You have to buy a gamer's computer for much more money now to get any power/switches from the motherboard, and even then, it might be soldered in..This is your average run of the mill lousy HP laptop designed to lock you in with fixed hardware.

This has been BB's deal of the day multiple times recently, including last week. It's a great price for what it is but as others have noted, RAM is soldered in and can't be upgraded. Datasheet: https://files.bbystatic.com/RALLa.../Datasheet

7720 is actually pretty much are rebadge of a much older generation. 20 at the end means it's Zen 2.

Mendocino is quad-core Zen 2 with 2 CUs RDNA2 graphics. So it was a new creation at the time since Zen 2 Renoir APUs used Vega graphics. But unlike the Steam Deck's 8 CUs, the 2 CUs in Mendocino don't go very far. It does get some newer features, like AV1 decode, but that's about it.

It's not like it's horrible if you don't care about iGPU performance. I wouldn't pay $320 for it and 8 GB RAM though.

It's almost like they are learning from their Printer divison.
