The RAM is attached to the motherboard on the first unit. The second unit features a single slot with soldered memory. Specifications for the drives are not clear, but it seems they are also soldered.

i just ordered the Lenovo Flex 5 and a SK Hynix Gold P31 500GB PCIe NVMe drive. my plan is to stick with win os but clone the original to the sk drive, then install a dual-boot setup that pairs with pop os 22.04. any tips on how to do this? my goal is to have win os for certain tasks while mostly using linux.
