Is the memory upgradable to 64GB - Can the owner install a memory upgrade - Is the memory SODIMMs or soldered to the mainboard? null

The RAM can definitely NOT be upgraded. It is soldered to the board. I spoke to Dell to confirm this. Whoever is claiming to be DELL responding to this forum is fraudulent. Best Buy needs to take charge and make certain pre-sales questions are being answered accurately. Older XPS models were upgradeable for RAM. None since 2023 can be upgraded. Watch a review on You Tube of DELL XPS models or do what I did and reach out to DELL yourself. Best Buy, you need to fix this and make sure wrong information is not confusing customers

What ever the other guy and dell are talking about is confusing. You cant change the ram what you get is what you get. what is on the laptop is what you get so you should might as well get the one that has what is acceptable for you. For it will be the most you can get forever.

Both the-memory and the NVMe SSD storage are both upgrade able.

Here is the reason to buy a laptop that has an extra storage slot and the memory can be upgrade.

Go to a laptop that allows  you to upgrade from 16GB to 32GB of memory. Watch what happens to the price if you add the memory before purchase vs. you buy the memory on your own and add it later..

You can BUY TWO GB MEMORY STICKS OR $70. WATCH THE PRICE OF THE LAPTOP,  IF THE MEMORY IS DOUBLED BEFORE YOU BUY.

EVERY LAPTOP HERE WILL GIVE YOU THE SAME $3-$400 jump in price.

Generally, when I am buying a laptop, I want the one that gives you an extra space for another NVMe M.2 SSD, and there is an empty memory Dimm, or there is 4 GB in each one, and I've already looked up the maximum memory for the laptops memory total

It isn't a good idea to suggest that if the buyer wants 32 GB, then buy one that already has 32 GB.. If you follow the price paid in the end, you will very quick learn what HP makes available for the smart shoppers. They don't want to  lose either one!

It is a good idea to consider learning how to build your own desktop PC. #1 If you use the same parts that are in one that is built for you. In fact it will be a whole lot! #2When you see how much you can save, instead of using the cheaper, unknown parts, you replace Sam Club's memory and you replace it with Corsair Titanium. You don't buy a smaller PSU, but you buy a Corsair Platinum, 1,200 watts, which has a ten year warranty and when you upgrade your graphics card to an ASUS RTX 4090 Ti. which is harder to do when you bought a system with Cosco 659 watt PSYu. When you are done, you will have a case, PSU, Great PWM fans, and a water cooling system that will last for many years. Swapping out a CPU, or a motherboard is fast and easy when you planned ahead withthe foundation of you PC. I could go on, but you get and you also get much more warranty for each item in your PC, instead of the ONE Year of the store built
