Is the memory still user upgradable?

No, it's even mentioned when you try to pick memory.

>Note: Unified memory is not user accessible. If you think you’ll need additional memory, consider upgrading at the time of purchase.

It's built in to the SoC right? If true, it's definitely not user upgradable, even if you have the ability to desolder and solder RAM.

Yup, and people asking for upgradability in unified memory is like asking upgradability for graphics memory in Nvidia GTX 3080 or any other graphics card.

Right, exactly. And if I remember correctly from my days as an engineering student, there is a huge benefit in speed to having the memory physically close to the CPU, as it is in the M series processors. The same reason L1, L2, and L3 cache exist. The tradeoff is that it isn't user upgradable.
