    I could get a sweet deal on on a Z1311C but it only comes with 4GB RAM, is this model self-upgradeable? (4GB of RAM is kind of a joke on this beast)

    I'm asking, because I've red many things, that 4GB are soldered to the logic board, that 4GB are soldered but theres also a socket and that it uses a special RAM.

    The SVZ uses proprietary Sony custom RAM modules.

    seems a lot more legit, seems I should look for a z13 with stock 8GB RAM, but since its only configurable along with 256GB SSD its at least 2-300 Euro more.
