Slightly OT, but was looking at system76 mini recently: https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat

Can't get any sense of whether the memory is baked in at build time, or if I can swap out later. The 'tall' option seems to imply there's more room, and that's what I'd need to get to manage my own memory, but ... I can't tell. There's no FAQ page, and... I was going to send in a question today, but since there's a system 76 topic here, thought I'd ask here and see if anyone else can shed their experience with the meerkat and after-market upgrades.

The hardware docs list the memory as DDR4 SODIMMS...

I've been strongly eyeing this model as well, but in the end I decided to trade money for risk and acquire a used Dell OptiPlex micro from eBay. :crossed_fingers:
