    One module is upgradeable by the sounds of it? You could upgrade to a total 12GB or 20GB

      Would ruin the point of dual channel memory though…

        Pretty sure you can run mismatched dual channel. So 4 + 4 would be dual channel, the rest at a slower speed.

        It will still run dual channel with different size modules (upto the point the soldered 4GB is filled).
        Also, is there noticeable difference between single and dual channel outside of gaming?

        Screens have just improved far past this point :)

        Props to it being a 1080p panel though… finally we are leaving 1366x768 budget territory.

          @ozturtle: Laptop screens really improved during the last few years. Used to be able to see 768p tn panels, now the worsts are at least 1080p ips with 45nstc.
          And a lot more are having a more sensible 1440p res/16:10/higher refresh rate/100 srgb even p3.

    Yeah not great but I'm more forgiving on cheaper laptops.

    in order to obtain results as stipulated by the Adobe RGB standard you should set your monitor’s brightness to 160 nits

  38 Wh battery, holy crap. That's awful. It's very rare to see a battery under 40Wh
