Quote from: Dacurnico on Today at 04:36:36When I can see that the same model from 2 generations prior supports *double* the memory of their current offering I lose interest.True. And just to make it clear: LENOVO artificially decreased the maximum RAM capacity, as the CPUs/APUs themselves support up to 256 GB RAM:

Quote from: trev on March 02, 2026, 09:37:47QuoteIs the LPCAMM2 memory at least running at 9600 MT/s?
Highly likely it isn't. The Thinkbooks have 8533 MT/S LPCAMM2 sticks, so I guess it's the same for the ThinkPad. I don't even know if there are 9600MT/s sticks available on the market.
QuoteAll versions have upgradeable RAM, but significantly, the Intel ThinkPads use LPCAMM2 LPDDR5X memory for the first time - the AMD models on the other hand utilize more mundane SO-DIMM RAM. Both top out at 64 GB.In times of AI / LLM self-hosting and data privacy, it's time for Lenovo to increase the maximum RAM support to up to 96 GB RAM (and up to 128 GB RAM for the P14s and P16s series).
