I’m not a solder expert but I wonder how hard it would be to put another on. I see numbers on the other sodimm slot lemme see if I can find that part if it even exists.
Edit: hmmmm does anyone know the name of what that black part is? Adding sodimm on the end doesn’t help much.

They didn’t save 10c.
They forced anyone who wanted more RAM (and dual channel performance) up to the more expensive model using the same motherboard.
I see missing VRMs so probably room for a dGPU on there too.
They saved a lot more by using one motherboard for an entire line of laptops.

Is this with the AMD A4-9125?
If so, that CPU has a single-channel memory controller. They might be using the same board in other machines with higher spec CPUs that support dual channel. IF that’s the case here, they’re doing you a favor by not tricking you into believing you can run a second stick.
