Comment from Ibz on previous deal for getting cash back through education store:
"I was able to claim Cashback on the edu store through cashrewards on this same laptop a few weeks ago by going through cashrewards to the normal lenovo website, then scrolling to the bottom and clicking resources -> student store -> shop weekly deals -> remove default Intel processor filter and add amd filter and find laptop - > add to cart and checkout"

  I dont understand why laptops are being built with no upgradability options on the ram?

  Unless they're banking on users to replace a laptop every 1-2years

    I think it's because at least 80% of the users don't upgrade anyway.

      Or more than 80% of users wouldn't be bothered/know how much RAM is needed/wanted.

    7 years ago I bought a lenovo with 8gb RAM (which was high by the standard or the time), 3 years back I considered upgrading RAM but the cost came out too high as the RAM of that specs became rare. This is a normal pattern so most people end up replacing laptops rather than the RAM.
