Yah, I thought that was clear. But if you get one of the machines with 4G soldered, your basically limited to 1/2 the full capacity of the hardware (36G vs 64G IIRC).
edit: Its actually 20-24G max according to the spec sheet, compared with my similar age cheepe dell which does 32G because it has two dimm slots so I have a pair of 16G dimms in it.
- xwdv 5y agoPut a 32G dimm on an 8G and you get 40G
- StillBored 5y agoI'm not sure that actually works on that machine, the intel specs list 32G max on the chips, which likely if its like some of their other designs caps the individual DIMM channel capacity. I've gone over the lenovo recommended RAM configs before when the intel spec supports it, but intel has been enforcing capacity limits on many of their parts (presumably in the low level binary firmware blobs which refuse to train DIMMs which otherwise might work) for the last few years. Even so, if you get it working, its the equivalent of 1/2ing your ram bandwidth. PS: what you probably want is a T480, same generation little thicker, with both ram slots, and the extended battery if one wants a beefier version.
