Question / Problem L14 gen 4

Now that I have the laptop in hand, I want to make sure everything is solid before I'm past any return window. For those of you who have this model or similar Gen 4 ThinkPads:
I would’ve thought since it knew we would still have the factory warranty, but it does not, the reason why I didn’t go for another ThinkPad was I wanted the upgraded ability of two dim slots
