Additional Notes
- The presence of on board memory indicates that 8 GB is permanently soldered to the motherboard to reach the stated 24 GB maximum capacity when paired with a 16 GB module in the single expansion slot.
- Dual channel memory performance only occurs on the capacity matched portion of the RAM resulting in asynchronous throughput if the expansion module exceeds the size of the soldered memory.
- System memory speed is capped by the 2133 MHz soldered chips even if a higher frequency 2400 MHz or 3200 MHz SO DIMM is installed in the expansion slot.
- Memory upgrades require a specific low voltage DDR4 specification to ensure compatibility with the existing power delivery system of the motherboard.
- The single slot configuration prevents future incremental upgrades beyond the initial expansion without discarding the previous module.
- Hardware latency is determined by the slowest module in the system which often forces the expansion RAM to run at suboptimal timings to match the on board memory controller.
- Physical access to the SO DIMM slot typically requires the removal of the entire base panel and internal shielding which may impact thermal pad contact for nearby components.
- Integrated graphics performance scales directly with total bandwidth meaning the transition to an asymmetrical memory configuration may result in slight frame rate fluctuations in graphical workloads.
