New CPUs greatly benefit from using LPDDR5 RAM which is why it's soldered onboard. You could say the standard has gotton higher since this wasn't always a requirement. Sure, you can find plenty Intel 13th Gen U/P-series laptops with expandable DDR5 slots, but only at the mid-range and lower price point.

So if getting RAM slots is more important to you than quality of display, keyboard, battery, weight and build quality for a laptop then by all means, vote with your wallet and show your support for modularity.

I think you can replace the SSD and add on the other slot another one, but that is it.

I have the LG Gram 17Z990 (i7-8565U. WQXGA) that originally came with 8GB of RAM. I purchased it because it was upgradable and then proceeded to upgrade it to 40 GB of RAM. It's a great laptop.

I'm in the market for a new one given that this is now 5 years old.

However, the newer versions of the LG Gram 17 don't have upgradable parts. So this means that I won't be purchasing from them until this is possible.

It's quite unfortunate, because it's a fantastic laptop, and it works perfectly with Kubuntu Linux.

A low weight (ca. 1.4 kg, ~3 lb), an excellent battery life, and a matte 16:10 display (17 inches, 2,560 x 1,600 pixels) represent the highlights of the LG Gram 17. They are accompanied by two Thunderbolt 4 connections and a good keyboard.
