I own the vivobook 14 and it's great. 11th gen dual core I3 blazing fast with 32GB crucial memory added to total 36GB and replaced the ssd with 2TB wd black NVME 750. Maybe battery life could be better
Battery life is the only draw back of this laptop , if just using for browsing/ light work you'll possibly get 4-5. Just dont leave the laptop on and walk away you might come back to a drained battery, like i have done so many times.

Yes, it has 2x thunderbolt 4 ports as mentioned in the description and it does support USB-C charging.
Does that mean laptop can be charged from USB C?

The AMD version has one open RAM slot. I'm not sure about the SSX, but you don't see a of the them soldered to the board.

is this overkill for my 70 year old parents who just watch stuff on youtube/surf the internet, check email, and do stock management?

Per MicroCenter website, it's only 1 slot and I don't know if this is soldered.

Microcenter shows one available slot - I was able to find zero information on this laptop online. Still ordered it this morning for pickup in PHL. I have a I3 from last year and this will be a huge upgrade. Soild deal for basic uses

Way overkill.
Also, the screen on this isn't something to write home about which should be considered if you only want the device for YouTube streaming.
All of the things you mentioned can be done on a chromebook or a windows tablet. If your parents watch stuff the most, then I'd suggest to get something cheaper but with a good screen.

Apart from the screen, this can handle all the things you mentioned.

The AMD version of this laptop has 1 soldered slot and 1 expansion slot. I would assume this is the same.

Thanks! I'd mostly be docking it to a monitor for them. I think they'd have a lot of trouble with a chromebook. I'm looking for a desktop PC but haven't found any good deals yet.

IPS Screen + 300nits why are some referencing the screen being a bummer/downfall?

If one isn't doing graphics work (only using for general use) does a 45%ntsc look bad on say youtube, etc??

This one was ticking all the boxes until saw this, sounds like 45%ntsc can = washed out colors. You need 72%ntsc to = 100%rgb color representation if I understand correct.
