is this laptop upgradable? null

The ram is. But it requires the heatsink be removed mot recommanded if youve never really played around with pc hardware before.

The Ram is upgradeable to 8gb. Its a single dimm slot underneth the heat sink.

The RAM can be upgraded to 8gb. You can add a 2.5" HD (preferably an SSD). Instructions for both are in Dell's service manual for the computer, available on the Dell Support site for the computer. You can't upgrade the 32gb eMMC card because it is soldered to the motherboard. The computer itself is very easy to take apart for access (much better than other Dell laptops I've worked with), but I wouldn't try to work inside the computer unless you've had enough experience to be comfortable.

As has been said by others, the RAM can be upgraded and it's located under the heatsink. If you do this make sure you have some thermal paste. The motherboard has a location for a SATA host receptacle but it's not populated. So no go for adding any HDD/SSD unless you wanted to try adding the receptacle yourself.

No, after popping open the cover, I didn't see any slots for RAM or HD. Maybe between the Motherboard and the keyboard but that would be a bit tricky as you have to remove the heatsink and a lot of ribbon cables.
