I recommended it at the time and after accidentally dropping it once I would advise looking elsewhere for a more durable 2-in-1 laptop such as ZenBook line. Even before the accidental drop, I noticed whenever I converted the laptop into a tablet or left it as a tent, the hinges would creak a bit. It was quite annoying. When the laptop is rested as a traditional laptop, the hinges extend outward and act as the support. The hinges haven't completely broken and am able to still use the laptop however going to have ASUS try to repair it as it is still under warranty.
I like the coating finish on the laptop as it feels like a premium laptop but durable it is not. The speaker sound quality and audio jack quality are great. The speaker quality are definitely a plus and do not sound muddled tinny at the slightest. You can definitely plug in your headphones and enjoy music-streaming while working or online conferencing. The keyboard can at time feel quite spongy, I will admit that but it a step up from having owned the Lenovo Flex 2-in-1. I really hated the laptop's build quality and found it's touchpad and the surfaces of the laptop to be prone to fingerprint smudges sometimes. The Flex keyboard felt small and a bit cramped at times but it felt decent.
The touchpad is rightfully sized on the Vivobook. The fan vents are on the left side of the laptop which is a plus especially if you're going to be using it in a tent position or as a tablet as the air flow will not be blocked. As someone who only uses the Vivobook for coding and multitask very often, the laptop never felt warm from the keyboard side and from the back either. The OS and consistent updates from both MyAsus and Windows ways maintained a smooth and.bug-free experience. Had no issues connecting a Bluetooth device such as my wireless headphones. Had not experienced any sudden disconnects or loss of audio. Worked right out of the box.
And that is my feedback on the Vivobook. I have included a link below of the very laptop that I am currently using and purchased from Amazon.

if the Vivobook 2-in-1 from Walmart is the same model as the Amazon one only with an upgraded CPU, then you can upgrade the RAM by replacing one of the RAM sticks with a 16GB. If I remember correctly one of the RAM sticks (4GB) us soldered and the other RAM stick can be removed and upgraded. No clue if a 32GB RAM stick will work. Disregard if the model sold by Walmart does not feature upgradable RAM.
Cheers!
JK… Maybe people are sick of typing the same thing over and over about these crappy laptops and their components… Let people buy and see for themselves.
And your statement about 8GB ram is just good for browsing, is so lame and idiotic, just like every post of yours. Not everyone going to run huge code compilation or video editing with 10 complex layers. 8GB is perfectly fine for all day to day tasks, including browsing, streaming, some basic photo and video editing, documentation a lot of other things. Don't post your not so imaginative ideas that 8GB is just sufficient for web browsing. And regarding weight, do you have any 2-in-1 in mind which weights less than 3 lbs at this price? Even far costlier Yoga 7i and 9i weight around 3.1 lbs.

Its not going to be terrible, the price is fair, but its far from a great product or deal

-cpu is perfectly capable with a decent igpu. zen 2 doesn't automatically make it some outdated garbage.
-256gb ssd / 8gb ram are perfectly fine for the vast majority that will use this as an everyday laptop. if you're buying this to either do professional work or as your main gaming pc, you're gonna have a bad time.
-comparing a laptop's weight to a tablet's makes no sense. it might have a tablet mode, but it's primarily a laptop. if you need a tablet, get a tablet.
-250 nits are perfectly fine for indoor use, just don't sit against a window. it's a common level of brightness for this price range, and acceptable as long as you're not trying to use it outside under the sun.
