You can get any low spec laptop that has no soldered DIMMs and just replace them with the maximum supported capacity.

You don't necessarily need to go the maxed up SKU.

Would that be unified memory? Where the gpu and cpu can share the memory? Which is key for performance.

Right, no, it wouldn't, I appreciate that in this particular context my comment was entirely wrong.

Thanks for helping me see it!

No, it wouldn’t. You’d be limited to using the CPU and the lower bandwidth system memory.
