Product: HP Spectre x360 16 inch 2-in-1 Laptop PC 16-f1000 (508S1AV)

My query on this model is whether or not the memory is soldered to the board. I can't find any information on this specific model (x360 16-f1500na) including on HP's own information for this device.

 

For example, the service manual for the model that HP says I have (for some reason it chooses the f1000na from time-to-time but f-1500na in 'my devices') states the processor as being the 11th Gen i7. My model has the 12th Gen i7-12700H. There are a handful of other minor but important differences and I cannot for the life of me find a manual that is relevant to my specific model. I don't want to tear my laptop down and risk bending the chassis etc just to be chronically disappointed to find out that it is infact soldered.

 

I just cannot find the information anywhere, even on the specific model page!

Hi:

 

Chapter 1 of the service manual on the  Spectre 16-f1xxx support page indicates that the memory is onboard and cannot be upgraded (not without replacing the motherboard with the one that comes with 32 GB of memory).

 

While the service manual is for the older 16-f0xxx model series, the architecture is the same as far as the onboard memory is concerned.

You will find no procedure to remove or replace the memory in chapter 5 of the manual.
