Bro, I don't understand, PERF says max capacity is 24GB when 8 GB is soldered, meaning max you can insert on top is 16 GB. But you're saying I can insert 32 GB stick? Meaning it's going to be 40 GB as the result? Documentation also mentions that more changeable RAM might be supported and it all depends on how the technology is developed bla-blah, nothing specific.
just saw RAM upgrade video from Vampyre Drakul - he does it on E15, but seems like different gen - maybe gen 1/2 - stick is not soldered there. He was able to put 32GB even though PERF says 24 GB is max.
@@Dan-rd8dr How much did you get on yours when you run the cmd? I'm facing the same question of how much I can upgrade on my gen 3 lenovo TP E15. I also watched the Vampyre and he booted it up fine after installing 32gb ram so I think its okay to install a 32gb ram stick. Also my maxcapacity is 67000000 but thats only 0.067 gb so I'm confused lol
@@Puppetmaster832 bro I don't know, I was lucky to get new thinkbook 16 for 500 bucks I recommend surfing through forums about RAM upgrades on this laptop to see what was maximum folks got installed on it - yt videos are useful sometimes too
TLDR 32gb does work but lenovo doesn't recommend it because it can cause noticeable lag. Supposedly when you put 16gb or ram in single channel it becomes a lot more noticeable then 8gb 8GB Soldered + 8GB SO-DIMM (Total 16GB): Both modules are of equal capacity, enabling full dual-channel operation, which can improve data throughput and system responsiveness. 8GB Soldered + 16GB SO-DIMM (Total 24GB): The first 8GB of each module operates in dual-channel mode, while the remaining 8GB of the 16GB module functions in single-channel mode. This configuration is often referred to as "flex mode" or "asymmetric dual-channel." It provides a balance between increased capacity and the benefits of dual-channel performance. 8GB Soldered + 32GB SO-DIMM (Total 40GB): In this scenario, only the first 8GB of each module operates in dual-channel mode, with the remaining 24GB of the 32GB module running in single-channel mode. While this setup offers substantial memory capacity, the performance gains from dual-channel operation are limited to the initial 8GB portion.
That’s exactly what I was looking for, I thought it was under the metal tab but I just wanted to make sure. Great video!
Thanks for the help, really useful. That silver cover is very sharp round the edges isn't it!
Can I add both of hdd and ssd in this laptop or there is just palce for ssd??
As far as I can tell there's no room for a hdd. I've got a similar laptop and it came with 256gb SSD and there's room for M.2 SSD for expansion.

please run this command in CMD - it would be greatly appreciated.
