Hi guys.

I am thinking about getting my first Lenovo laptop for work purpose from Shopping Express

Lenovo ThinkPad L15 G1 15.6" 1080p IPS Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U 8GB 256GB SSD W10P Laptop

I've got a few questions -

Could I buy a Crucial 8GB DDR4 2400 SODIMM Laptop Memory and add it to the machine, so I will have a 16GB RAM? Is it easy to assemble the memory card?
Is Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U CPU better than Intel Core i5-10210U?
Is the deal OK for a $1000 budget laptop?

Thanks Guys

    seems a better and clearer layout for this newbie to compare. other sites are harder to use.

Could I buy a Crucial 8GB DDR4 2400 SODIMM…

The existing 8GB on L15 is DDR4-3200 so you'll need to get something that matches it. However it's easy to open the ThinkPad up and add the memory SODIMM in yourself. Just google some videos on YouTube.

Is Ryzen 5 PRO 4650U CPU better than Intel Core i5-10210U?

Appears to be almost twice the CPU Mark so I guess the answer is "yes".

Is the deal OK for a $1000 budget laptop?

I think so.
