I tried looking it up but kept finding people were saying the intel CPU's throttle. Does the Ryzen 9 also throttle or is it throttling the GPU?

16gb LPDDR? Meaning not upgradable? This is 2025... 16gb may as well be 6.... Why would they do this?

Nowhere does it say LPDDR. This has SODIMM RAM and is upgradeable.

As already stated and confirmed that it's not LPDDR5 and is upgradeable. The OP never posts the complete specs but the link I've given above contains it and you can check it there.

Description on BB says LPDDR, but if you go to specs it says memory is DDR5 5600.
So you're both right?
It's annoying (but not that uncommon) that the description on BB conflicts with the detailed specs.

My information and description come directly from ASUS's spec sheet. It's common for BB to mess up the specs; they have done it before, but the official manufacturer spec sheet does not.

Does anyone know if the second hard drive bay is PCIe 5? I've seen some reports that say so and some that say otherwise.
