Can you add more RAM to a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7?

System Memory or Random Access Memory (RAM) is a temporary memory used by the central processing unit (CPU) to store information that the operating system (OS) and software applications actively use for faster reading and writing. When a system doesn't have enough RAM or memory, it will use a slower SSD or traditional hard disk drive that makes the system run slower. So the more RAM your Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 has, the more tasks it can handle simultaneously, resulting in more responsive and faster performance.

Unfortunately, the memory on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 is soldered to the motherboard, and there is no additional RAM slot for expansion. Since you can't change or add more RAM after you buy, you want to make sure you pick the configuration with the right amount of memory at the initial purchase. Lenovo claims that the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7 supports up to 16GB of 2133 MHz LPDDR3 memory. Here are the memory configurations on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 7.
