overall of this laptop.....
good
-super snappy to use. Ryzen 7 + NVME + dual channel RAM after self upgrade
-overall heat of laptop is ok, can feel abit heat on upper side (after the Q row keyboard)
-Rapid charge is the main point to upgrade
-keyboard just like x230, but abit abit harder to press
-IO that i need for work and it has all (USB x 3, HDMI, RJ45, USB-C, MicroSD card reader)
bad
-sharp edge on palm rest area
-heavy (compare my mighty x230+9cell)
-no backlite keyboard option
-super high CP rate of Thinkpad series although Eseries is low range
advice
-Processor
Not a must to upgrade to Ryzen 7. i upgrade it because the upgrade cost doesn't much....
-LCD
LCD MUST upgrade to IPS FHD, no regret
-RAM
RAM upgrade not a must if you know DIY, few screw only to open the whole D panel.
Kingston HyperX 16G DDR4 i bought in RM276 include shipping
(Was adding RM200 to upgrade from 4G to single slot 8G DDR4, although final price of this upgrade is 50%, but still not worth)
-Wifi
From review, the realtek card is xxxx
But there is no option to change it from web, so DIY only (abit regret that intel AX200 is same price as i bought AC9260, which AX200 is wifi6)
-NVME
just upgrade to NVME, no regret (HDD option i choose dummy harddrive, add below RM100 to get NVME 256G
(lucky to get Samsung PM981 NVME, not Lite-on NVME. speed different so much)
(self change can be more worth, every thing put default and get the NVME you want... Cost should lower if compare u customize in web)

You should have match your RAM for the full dual channel mode...your 24GB system should be running flex mode if not single channel.... either total up to16GB or 32GB.
With 50% off the 8GB upgrade was RM100...and the 16GB upgrade was RM200....worth it in my opinion.
My system is currently at 32GB....@1866MHz speeds....currently searching for ways to force it to at least 2400MHz (if possible).
Also running w 1TB or Adata 8200pro....
Will upgrade to AX200 WiFi as you pointed out.
