Thumbs up to OP for the nice summary of specs, mentioning gamut, nits, soldered ram and weight. I just have to read the post to understand if it's for me :-)

And the Lenovo is WIFI6 vs WIFI5 in the Dell.
I think the Lenovo is the far better deal.

As long as storage is not soldered and higher capacities are available for the slot/socket, then sure you can upgrade. The specs on the Lenovo page just list the available factory configurations.
