    They are using 204PIN RAM sockets on this model.
    Only the P-Series systems have the 260PIN DDR4 sockets.
    Just get a fast DDR3 (2133Mh) with low timings and it'll be as good if not even better.

    The only down side is maximum capacity at the moment, as Prema was saying it's the memory slots soldered onto the board and how they are wired on the PCB to the CPU that determine which type is used.

    Like I said, the RAM slots. DDR3 and DDR4 SO-DIMMs use different physical slots, as does UniDIMM but no notebooks have it yet.

    IMHO, this was a great decision. It's not in the high performance end of Clevo models. It won't have DDR4 prices. As was said, DDR3 with low timings, will be the better performer right now. It has an ODD and a SIM card slot, provided the vendor chooses that feature. An all-around machine.
