8 GB ram is not enough. If it will take more, not soldered, then an excellent buy.
Thanks Larry for all the deals you have posted over the years, but hard to beat: https://slickdeals.net/laptop-deals/

is it soldered-on 8GB only? Is that why it's not selling?

I'm 99% sure this is an HP Victus 15 FB-2082. It has been on sale several times at this price recently.

If that is the case, it has two DDR5-5600 SODIMM slots, not soldered memory. It comes with a single DDR5 8GB SODIMM.

Memory capacity is kind of up in the air -- HP claims 16GB max on the box, but I've read several accounts of people successfully installing 32GB. And, Crucial sells a 64GB kit for it (though it is out of stock now, and costs 1/3 as much as the laptop).

The storage is gen 4 NVMe. I also recall reading that the WIFI card is not soldered so it can be upgraded as well.

@VirtualLarry, this is a really great deal for a laptop with dedicated RTX-4050 graphics.

EDIT: Here are the compatible Crucial 32GB and 64GB kits on Amazon.com
