I was looking at the ThinkStation P620 on the US site for a friend, and came across this after I had configured it. On the sidebar, where it shows the configuration, many of the components are marked as “(soldered)”. However after adding to the cart, that note is gone from the final list.
See the memory, onboard M.2, and even the M.2s on the Quad AIC! I commented about this on the latest 5000 TR Pro video, and I got a “This is not true” from someone at L1. Don’t know what to make of this 
I have a p620 and can tell you m.2 and ram isn’t soldered on.
I guess it’s a website bug then 
Yup, since I’ve been able to take things out and add more ram, GPUs and nvme and google coral to my p620 and no issues with soldered components
Great, then I’ll be able to recommend it to my friend 
, he got quite a bit of budget approved for a hardware purchase 
Hope he enjoys it! I chose the TR 3945wx and going to be upgraded to the 5975 or whatever the new 32 core is called, p620s are Damn nice machines
Ya, he is looking forward to it, going to run some physics simulations
I’ve purchased three P620’s so far with the 3945wx, and can confirm no components were soldered, other than what’s supposed to be.
What I didn’t check to see, is if the fuses were burned on the CPU, marrying it to the system board. Although it doesn’t matter in my case, these machines won’t get upgraded, or parted out when retired.
Thanks a lot for confirming, I can recommend it to my friend without hesitation now
They are vendorlocked I think. I avoided buying a used 3945WX for that reason and bought a p620. I think we had someone in the fourm a week or so ago buy a 3995WX from a OEM Lenovo and wouldnt boot due to it being on a non Lenovo board what sucks.
Retail Threadripper Pro gets vendor locked as well when installed in the Lenovo P620. You won’t be able to use the retail 5975WX in a different motherboard after it has been installed in the P620.
