However, there are 12GB DDR5 modules and the N100 supports both DDR4 and 5.
So there's also the possibility that the description is wrong on being DDR4.
But information on this particular configuration is extremely limited, even on their website.

There was an incident with one company that lazily used a premade Windows installation that had malware baked in.
They didn't even know it happened because, apparently, some of these tasks (like installing Windows to a million drives) are outsourced.
You can wipe the entire drive with a secure erase tool and reinstall Windows from scratch if you want to guarantee a fresh start.
How do these mini PC processors stack up between N95, N100, N150? I would assume as they get to a larger number they are more powerful but I've read conflicting information to that during my research. Not looking for anything crazy powerful, just a simple task machine.
Edit.- I asked Google and got it's AI answer this time. Seems pretty much along what I was thinking the case was. Which one should you choose?N150: This is the best all-around choice. Its minor performance gains over the N100 are complemented by its excellent power efficiency. If price is equal, the N150 is the better buy.N100: The most popular of the three, the N100 offers the best balance of performance and power efficiency. It is the ideal choice for those prioritizing ultra-low power consumption, especially for fanless setups.N95: Only consider the N95 if it is significantly cheaper than the other two. Its higher power consumption doesn't translate to notably better CPU performance, and its integrated graphics are less capable than the N100 and N150.
The N95 outperforms the N150 on certain arithmetic tasks, while the N97 can pull ahead of the N100 in certain areas and has a faster GPU.
The AI recommendation is right, in that you probably won't notice a difference beyond your electric bill (6W vs 15W, which probably equates to 30W vs 60W for the whole system).
But if you're trying to run a server, aim for the N150 and max out the memory. For Plex, go with the fastest GPU.
It should be 8GB soldered and 4GB on the DIMM.

I received mine today. So it looks like this is DDR5, BIOS says it's 4800MHz. Unfortunately, it also looks like it's soldered on and there is no SODIMM slot.
Can you snap a pic of the board? I'm curious what it looks like.
That's really weird, considering they have an 8GB and 16GB version.

It looks like this tear down https://youtu.be/TPaWire2E7k. Skip to 4:33 to see the big heat sink/fan on the top of the MB and 5:14 to see the bottom… except the bottom of mine only has the M.2 slot and no SODIMM slot
At around 6:41 he mentions he has another version of the pc that doesn't have the DDR4 SODIMM slot but instead has DDR5 soldered onto the motherboard.

The top of the motherboard is a covered by a big heat sink/ fan. The bottom of the board has an M.2 slot for the SATA SSD. I'm pretty sure the ram chip is soldered under the big heat sink/fan, but I don't think I can easily remove the heat sink, it seems glued to whatever component(s) it is sinking.

It seems odd that they'd just leave that space open.
I can't imagine they soldered in all those modules for the 16GB version.

Are there any solder pads in the area where the slot would be?

The 16GB versions of this PC that I've seen online all say they are DDR4, and I suspect they all have the SODIMM slots for the RAM on the bottom of the mobo and not soldered DDR5 like this one.
