Discrepancies exist about the specifications of RAM.
Discrepancies exist about the specifications of RAM.
You're facing a common confusion about RAM specifications. The Crucial Upgrade Finder suggests 64GB, but the official manual states a maximum of 16GB. This discrepancy likely comes from different sources or misinterpretations. To clarify, check the laptop's official documentation or contact Lenovo support for the exact supported RAM limits. Your current setup of 8GB with an 1TB SSD is fine, but upgrading further may require consulting the manufacturer's guidelines.
The guide that accompanied the laptop would be the appropriate choice when it was released. New firmware or BIOS updates might be available on the manufacturer's site, offering additional options. It varies by model, so checking the website is recommended.
16GB total seems quite limited (DDR3 is typical for that price range) and it makes me think Lenovo isn’t committed to backing capacities higher than what they offer. AMD confirms support for 64GB DDR4 overall for the 4600H, which would be the highest I’d consider.
As long as IBM/Lenovo doesn't restrict the available resources with the bios/firmware, it's fine.
Likely the 16GB limit was the highest Lenovo could provide at that time. They advertised 1TB NVMe drives but accepted up to 2TB models. You can find more details on Lenovo's official forum page.
