Questions about this item

Is the 8 GB DDR4-2400 memory soldered or can I upgrade it later?

The 8 GB DDR4-2400 is soldered to the motherboard, so no SO-DIMM slot exists for a future upgrade.

Will the i7-8565U hit its thermal ceiling before the 4.6 GHz turbo can be held?

Under continuous load the quad-core i7-8565U reaches its temperature limit first, causing clocks to settle well below the 4.6 GHz maximum turbo.

How loud and hot does the 14" chassis get when the UHD 620 runs all day?

The integrated UHD 620 shares the same heat pipes as the CPU, so fan noise rises to an audible whine and the keyboard deck becomes warm during extended sessions.
