SLC Buffer, not DRAM. They're different. One's the built in NAND flash and the other one is DRAM.

For anyone's who's bought this and is on Telstra, does it support VoLTE?

The only pitfall with this machine is the fact it only has single channel RAM due to the single ram slot.

Your OS needs to support it. There also needs to be support for NVMe 1.2 and above.

It uses HMB - host memory buffer - for systems that support it. So it'll be slower due to this, and not every system can support it.

They're completely different drives. One's DRAMless and the other one has a DRAM Cache. Price Per Gig, it's very similar, so I'd probably...

It might be related to the power saving features in the BIOS. I'd check there.

A few months is soon enough, considering you keep a system for at least a few years. I'd say if you can wait, wait. The 4000 series mobile...

Yes, but apparently the downsides are a Dim display with low PWM frequency (flickers) and no USB-C power delivery or display output. It...

No USB-C. This is useful for the USB-C monitors like the ThinkVision M14.

I don't think the RAM is upgradeable on this model. It's LPDDR4 (implying it's soldered on).

These have PWM - they flicker and cause headaches.

No I haven't but I took it to the Samsung store at a shopping centre, and they were extremely dismissive.
