Title says DDR5 Specs say DDR4 so which is it?
Hello. DDR5 is correct. Should be updated soonish.
Nice. Why is it everytime I want to buy something on here, my location is restricted to buy. Iām in delaware and it says I canāt ship to my house. What a joke.
Is that sad 128 GB of SSD storage upgradable?
Supposedly the AG15-21P-R5YG has two DDR5 SODIMM sockets
āCORRECTION, upon opening, it is as others noted soldered DDR5, as should have been obvious to me since it was listed LPDDR in the specs. Not sure why Google search for this model shows 2xSODIMM slotsā
AND a 2280 PCIe 4.0 M2 socket under a lid held on by 10 torx screws.
āItās 11 screws, and they are PH1ā
While probably trivial to upgrade, consider that upgrading this thing to a 512GB SSD will cost more than the current asking price of the laptop. Perhaps some people can get by on 8GB if you have a fast enough SSD to page 15-20GB of virtual memory onto? The CPU is decent enough for basic stuff itāll walk over any Pentium N.
I can vouch that a 1TB drive definitely does. This is $200 more than when I bought it last year.
Thatās a pretty compelling price for someone thatās trying to save money. Iām in 8 GB of RAM is pushing it but the fact that Apple just released $500 to $700 machine for that price and everyoneās glazing it. This saves you three 400 bucks.
That said Iām going to assume this doesnāt have a touch screen since thereās no reference that I can see. That would be my frustration.
Trying to go back to a laptop without a touch screen is something I find frustrating just because touch screens have been part of my muscle memory for a decade or more now
Yes unless someone absolutely has to buy an SSD I would encourage people to wait.
I know itās not always the case but probably not practical here.
Itās just so frustrating. I have a few SD cards laying around the house I could use probably to buy myself a little extra breathing room.
LPDDR5 (as noted in the product title) = soldered.
- Apple memory management versus Windows. The former does fine with 8GB. The latter ā¦ well, itās Windows.
- Processor power. Despite the āAIā label on this to signify that itās a newer device (and/or cash in on the trend) , the CPU itself is based on Zen 2 cores. This still carries the previous model number, as the 7320U has been renamed to āRyzen 3 30ā.

Their āphoneā CPU offers significantly faster single core performance and more overall than the one here:
AMD Ryzen 3 7320U vs Apple A18 Pro (MacBook Neo) [cpubenchmark.net] by PassMark Software -
Screen quality ā or rather, the lack thereof when it comes to cost conscious laptops. Color, resolution, brightness ā the majority cannot compete with the Neo: 10-bit color depth, 96% sRGB coverage, 2408x1506 (versus 1920x1080 or worse, 1366x768), 500 nits brightness.
-
Build quality, aluminum versus plastic chassis.
Donāt get me wrong - this is still a compelling laptop for the price, but in no way is this in the same class as a Neo.
Also I already bought a cheap laptop here a couple months ago.
(Note that I am not staff. I just volunteer to help out on the forums.)
Why can we not ship this to my OR address?
Hi there. We get this list of things that canāt ship to various states. For some reason, this is on the list to your state. Sorry. Iāll ask though.
Update: Should be good now.
Gold star assessment. Whenever I see LPDDR5 itās soldered ram, which is criminal in general and high treason if itās 8gm of ram in a Windows machine.
