Is the RAM upgradeable?

Yes, partly. 8GB is soldered and one SO-DIMM slot is free, so you can add up to a 32GB module for 40GB total.

Is the display good for photo editing?

No. The 1920x1200 IPS panel covers only 45% NTSC and reaches 300 nits, which is fine for documents but not for color-critical work.

Does it have Windows Hello face login?

Yes. The 1080p IR camera with privacy shutter supports Windows Hello facial recognition.

The laptop and a 65W USB-C adapter. A mouse and sleeve are not included.

How does it compare with the ThinkPad T14?
