Additional Notes
- The V320 architecture splits memory between soldered on-board capacity and a single upgradeable SO-DIMM slot, meaning base RAM cannot be replaced or removed without board-level service.
- Single SO-DIMM configuration creates an asymmetrical dual-channel limitation if on-board capacity differs from the upgrade module, potentially reducing memory bandwidth efficiency below the theoretical DDR4 maximum.
- The 2133 MHz frequency indicates DDR4-2133 or JEDEC standard-class memory; newer DDR4-2400, DDR4-2666, or DDR4-3200 modules will downclock to 2133 MHz, negating speed advantages from higher-spec components.
- 16 GB maximum addressable capacity constrains workloads involving virtual machines, large dataset processing, or concurrent application suites; upgrading beyond on-board allocation requires filling the single SO-DIMM slot with a 16 GB module.
- SO-DIMM form factor is laptop-specific and non-interchangeable with desktop UDIMM modules; sourcing compatible memory requires explicit SO-DIMM DDR4-2133 specification to avoid incompatible purchases.
- Warranty retention during RAM upgrades depends on Lenovo's service policy for user-replaceable components; SO-DIMM slots are typically designated as field-upgradeable, but verification against the specific service document is required before installation.
- Thermal constraints in ultrabook form factors may impact performance if on-board memory already operates near junction temperature; adding an additional module increases cumulative heat dissipation in a confined space.
