It says in the task manager that there are free slots but some websites claim that it is soldered.
it is 4gb btw which is too low

    The memory is soldered to the motherboard, no socket for an upgrade. Task manager has no way to tell if there are sockets, it can only look at what the chipset could potentially use. The discrete graphics models (G) use LPDDR3 chips and come in 4GB and 8GB flavors. So the only way to get up to the 8GB version is a motherboard replacement.

    Means only motherboard replacement is the solution? Couldn't we add the 12gb ram in the existing slot?

    There is no slot to add memory.
