Vivobook is Asus' budget to mainstream/mid-range brand. So expect cutbacks like the cheaper soldered ram, USB 2.0 ports, plastic base build etc.
If you want premium/upper mid-range and higher then you'll have to pay more with their zenbook brand.
Like other manufacturers, Asus' entry into the budget 'creators' segment uses their budget brand and swap in a 'creators' display panel and/or gpu.
Yes, it is not.
does not look like the memory is upgradable.

I was thinking about firing until I saw the 8GB of RAM. WTF, that's a glorified chromebook! 16GB is a bare minimum these days for just about anything- real productivity, gaming, etc.

What about supplimenting the lack of physical ram with virtual ram. It'll help with users who keep a lot of apps open since ram on this laptop is not upgradeable.
best thing about this laptop is the display, everything else is meh
I bought a Lenovo with the same panel and had to return it due to PWM flickering that caused really bad eye fatigue. Placed right next to an LCD panel laptop, the difference is night and day. PWM has never bugged me on my phones, but seemed to tire my eyes on a 14" panel. I was so disappointed as I had been waiting for an OLED laptop for years before finally buying one with great specs (5900HX).

That is a big downside of OLED . I get headache from my phone oled screen. Considering the shorter life span of oled when having static items I really do not understand their pricing or use of them in monitors/laptops. But anyway I do confirm the flickering issue with them. They only can make it better low flicker but can not omit it completely like lcd screen because of its nature . They need to be bright to produce wide color and dimming by DC is not an option only PWM is the option for them when are dimmed lower than specific amount

Yes, OLED panels use PWM dimming as they lose color accuracy when dimmed by reducing voltage (direct dimming). One of the earlier Nexus phones (I think made by LG) did use direct dimming, but people complained about display quality when dimmed (weird color shifts, patterns appearing). Looks like they never figured out how to resolve those issues with OLED panels and just went with PWM, which is unfortunate. Since a phone occupies a much smaller area in your field of view, PWM doesn't bother me when looking at phones, but jumping to a 14" 16:10 display made my eyes feel tired quite quickly. PWM also makes it harder to stay focused on the image, which leads to more eye strain. When I bought my Lenovo, I had no idea about these PWM issues. I just started experiencing eye fatigue compared to my LCD laptop, so I had to do some research on the topic to figure out what was causing it.

Thunderbolt 4 is a plus.
