You're seeking clarity on RAM types and compatibility. DDR4 and LPDDR4 are different standards, and swapping them isn't straightforward. LPDDR4 chips can't be directly replaced in DDR4 systems without hardware changes. Running full-power DDR4 in an LPDDR4 device would likely cause issues. It's best to stick with the correct type for optimal performance.

It would be unexpected if they could. The low-power DIMM slots are meant solely to supply power for those specific chips.

Typically, DDR4 RAM is only available on devices where it's permanently attached, and among a limited number of x86 laptops it's also soldered.

Otherwise, they use a different bus width, making it improbable for a laptop to accommodate both at once.
