Pretty much sure you bought FX706HE with 3050Ti (reg $999, was on sale for $799)
This one is FX706HC with 3050 (not Ti version, reg $899, on sale $679)

The title of this deal states 3050 Ti. It should be 3050, not the Ti version.

Edit: OP corrected the title

It has a front facing camera according to the Q&A on Best Buy's listing.

Thank you! I don't know why the best buy page says no camera.

Anyone planning to upgrade the RAM? If so do you mind linking me to a recommended brand?

Should be fine. It's probably all about the same. Technically, it might be better to wait until you get the laptop and see what the specs are on the ram module it comes with. But honestly, what are you going to buy anyway? Most these 3200 modules are the same CL22 spec. I've mixed and matched ram in desktops fine, even ones of completely different rated speeds (even different voltage ratings, lol). I doubt you will have any problems. It will just adjust to the speed of the slower module.

Thank you so much !!! I will wait for my laptop to be delivered first and I will check the specs on that ram first.

Would the type C port work with a headset that is type C, or will it only work with a monitor?

Has anyone taken the RAM out of their laptop. What is installed? One DDR4 8GB module with one slot open? What is the part number / model number on the RAM module. Trying to see if it is 3200 speed and CAS latency of 22.

Not that hard at all, BUT you should follow this official instruction [asus.com] in order to open your laptop.

Followed all the instructions to remove the screws but could not figure out how to pop the back cover off. Could find no place to get into a gap to pry it off.
My son (he's pretty handy) could not figure it out, either.

See the BB webpage for the machine. It has a pair (2X8) recommended. That should give you an idea.

Despite what the BB webpage says, it does have a webcam.
I just picked my machine up earlier today.

BTW, it proceeded to install W11 w/o asking me.

Hey man, out of curiosity is the USB-C port Thunderbolt?

I'm probably going to return my TUF. I think I'm going with the Vostro 7510 deal instead, but I wanted to at least confirm whether there's thunderbolt on the TUF or not.

TIA!

Yup, I've seen that page and yeah, according to the page it's Thunderbolt...but there's conflicting information out there. BB's site does not list Thunderbolt, just Displayport and PD. Very few sites which have this version of this laptop mention Thunderbolt. However, the OP has talked about his TUF 3050ti version that had a sticker on it that declared that the USB-C port WAS Thunderbolt 4

It's why I asked you. Do you know if the 3050 version has TB4 or is it just USB-C with PD and Displayport? Did yours come with a sticker on it?

TIA!
