Has Inspiron 16 Plus 7460, has upgradable memory?
Hi there, Before buying it, I wish to know if the Inspiron 16 Plus 7460, has upgradable memory.
The documentation state the memory is onboard, and also say that there 16 gigs 2x8.
It is quite confusing.
I'm talking specifically about this one with the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor.

Page 15 and 16
The version of the 7640 with an nvidia discrete GPU appears to use SODIMMs, at least if `dmidecode` is being honest:

If you google the part number `HMCG78AGBSA095N`, you get this SK Hynix module, so I'm pretty sure I have SODIMMs in mine. :)averyquinns

There are multiple versions of the Inspiron 16 Plus 7640. The versions with (as far as I can tell), the integrated GPU and the Arc graphics use LP DDR5, soldered to the motherboard. The versions with discrete Nvidia GPUs use SODIMM (upgradable). The versions with the Nvidia GPUs also use a different motherboard configuration, with two NVME slots sitting in the center of the motherboard, running parallel to the battery, while at least the Arc graphics version I ordered (and will return shortly out of disappointment) has only one NVME slot on the right side of the motherboard and oriented perpendicular to the battery.
Hi , so the LPDDR5 are not upgradable, but DDR5 are ? Im looking forward to buy this model

The RAM is LP DDR5 -- it is soldered in and there is no way to upgrade.
