I bought this a couple weeks ago when it was the same price.

Screen is average brightness (300), but screen is large and decent quality.

There is a free ram slot for 8 gb to be added for 16gb total.

Bottom of chassis seems to be plastic, but top portion seems to be metal.

The 5600H benchmarked well.
Wrong model, incorrect information, the other thread confirms this has 1 open memory slot and will go up to 16GB.
Or you could invest 5 minutes of your time, watch a YouTube video, and save yourself 50 bucks that they would charge you to do a 2 minute task.

I looked at this a couple weeks ago in this post.
https://slickdeals.net/f/16356928-asus-vivobook-16x-laptop-16-wuxga-1920-x-1200-16-10-display-amd-ryzen-5-5600h-cpu-amd-radeon-vega-7-graphics-8gb-ram-512gb-ssd-450-free-shipping?attrsrc=search%3Aterm%3AVivobook%7Csearch%3Apage%3A1%7Csearch%3Aposition%3A7%7Csearch%3Aresult_type%3Athread%7Csearch%3Aresult_id%3A16356928&src=SiteSearchV2Algo1

It seems like a good laptop overall, but that 5600h processor seems a little anemic compared to the i5-1235U and 1240p processors that are in a lot of lower priced machines.

Anybody have experience with this?

Ram is sodered to the motherboard and CANNOT be replaced or upgraded. I would not buy this regardless of the price.

And 95% of computer users don't upgrade.

I found this answer from ASUS Support on the product page on Amazon.

"It has 1 memory slot available that supports up to 8GB 3200Mhz.
By ASUS Support Manufacturer on June 29, 2022"

Heads up, the anemic 51wh 3 cell battery means its going to be on the shorter side of battery life for a 16in.

The video you link is for another model (N700). This model (M1603QA) has an expansion slot as listed on the Asus website. https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/f.../techspec/
