Can't get past the stupid SD redirect to see, but there's this comment on the Best Buy page:

Is the 16Gb ram in this laptop is 1 x 16 gb installed or 2 x 8gb installed? Please tell me Asap. And also is there an extra slot or SSD inside the laptop or not?
The RAM installed is 2×8GB modules of DDR5-5600. The brand of RAM is Samsung, and the RAM model number is M425R1GB4PB0-CWMOL. There is only 1×M.2 2280 Gen 4 SSD slot running on x4 channels. The installed brand of SSD installed is Sandisk, which is a 512GB module with the model number SDEPNSJ-5126-1006. Some people have mentioned that their machine has a Samsung M.2 card. If Upgrading: Be sure to note that the RAM modules supported are 2×8GB DDR5-5600, 2×16GB DDR5-5600, and 2×32GB DDR5-4800. If you upgrade to the max capacity, you will not be able to use the Overclocked RAM speeds, and the motherboard officially supports DDR5-4800 up to 64GB total or DDR5-5600 up to 32GB total. Be sure to note that the maximum supported SSD drive capacity is 4TB, and it must be Gen 4 or earlier, this will support a Gen 5 module, but it will perform at Gen 4 speeds. Do not use a SSD with a heatsink, as it will not fit properly, and will not be cooled properly. I hope you find this information useful. I do not work for Best Buy and am not associated with them at all. It took trial and error along with research to find the information pertaining to the RAM speeds supported by the motherboard.

E:"Accessible RAM slots - 2" - per the fact sheet. This should be upgradable, it isn't listed as LPDDR5. https://files.bbystatic.com/NWkiq.../Datasheet

This is the deal I've been waiting for. Ryzen 7445HS outperforms the i5's commonly offered on this unit, and with a Geforce 4050 it's the model to get in the $500-ish range. I don't think we're going to see a well equipped sub-$500 this year, with tariffs and the price hikes on RAM and hard disks.

Weird. I got the generation before this one 4 months ago and was able to put 64GB in it.

Seems like very good deal. I'm kind of out of loop on GPU. I just need something to process my Insta 350 X5 videos and it says GPU would speed things up. I'm coming from a Dell Xps from 2018 and only reason I upgrade is hardware not supported on windows 11.

Unfortunately not for charging. Shame to have a 5lb laptop and still have to carry around 2lbs of adapter, too.
My Dell XPS from like 2016 can USB C charge. There's no legitimate reason not to have this on every laptop in 2025.

This one also $550+Tax but comes with only 8 GB Ram but says gaming laptop.
Which is better as per reliability, build quality?
Anybody who owns the HP Victus that's in this post can share their thoughts?

Ryzen 7 7445HS is 2+4/12thread, so minimally faster than the i5, and about 20% slower than 7435HS with its 8 cores. The 4050 is the low performance variant and the charger is 120W (what a giveaway). On the other hand the laptop is fairly well built, portable and at 500 like new, a decent deal, not great.

Do not buy MSI ever. They have the worst build quality, design decisions, and customer support. Look for overheating and hinge horror stories and be cured.

Out of stock.

Edit: Ebay link is out of stock, still available for the same price on BestBuy's website.


Another note I came across mentioned this Ryzen 7 doesn't have integrated graphics. Saw a few comments elsewhere comparing it to the Ryzen 5 which said they preferred the 5 because it features integrated graphics. Just a heads up in case you're specifically looking for a laptop that has a processor with integrated and dedicated graphics.
