I wouldn't really consider a almost 5 lb .75 inch thick laptop a "thin and light" where you should just assume it is soldered. My Lenovo Legion Pro 5 gaming laptop isn't much heavier or thicker and has a dedicated GPU, nevermind the ram being repalceable.
It was a big surprise for me to discover I had even less than 8GB system RAM: I had only ~6GB. After some checking, looks like the integrated GPU MUST use system RAM. And I didn't find a way to assign less memory to GPU (I did try a few things like Bios settings and so on)...
I didn't try running heavy tasks yet so I do not know how much running out of 6GB RAM will affect the performance.
