Thank you, but you made a mistake. Lenovo PSREF [lenovo.com] (Part Number : 82QD00DHUS) says 8GB Soldered DDR4-3200 and one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot so memory IS UPGRADABLE.
I believe you have replied to a wrong post (which should be here)
I have a Target version. Solid laptop. The 12gen I3 is great. My version has a fingerprint scanner - meh. I was never a fan of touch screens on a laptop but if you like it it will be good. Mine has an on board SSD with an open M.2 slot. I am an Excel/Access user with no problems. At this price point it is a solid buy.
Added a 32gb 3200 RAM module and the system recognizes 40 gb total. Replaced the shorter 256gb NVME SSD with a full-length 1TB NVME SSD after cloning the whole drive.
It takes a T5 screwdriver to remove 6 long and 4 short screws. Had to use a plastic pry tool to unclip the bottom cover after T5 screws were removed.
The screen at full brightness looks the same as a 250-nit screen side by side, even though the spec says 300-nit.

Best Buy listing and Lenovo PSREF [lenovo.com] says 8GB Soldered LPDDR4x-4266 so memory is not upgradeable (and there is no memory slot) since unlike regular DDR RAM, JEDEC (the standards body) has never standardized a memory module on a PCB (aka a DIMM) for LP DDR. Sorry answered wrong thread.

There are a couple entries in the Best Buy Q&A section on RAM expansion, and the answers claim there's one slot open.

Is that deal still available? Could you give a link. Does that support USBC charging?

I also have the target one. unfortunately not USB-C charging. It's like a random circular input, but not sure what it's called.

It's called a barrel jack connector, but there are hundreds of different sizes (inner diameter / outer diameter / polarity), good luck finding the right size should you want to convert it to USB-C charging.
