Thanks for the thoughtful response. I confirmed that it has 8GB onboard memory and 1 open expansion slot. I installed a 16GB DDR 4 3200 ram into the open slot and confirmed it is working and showing a total of 24GB of memory. Thanks! Cheers!

If you follow the manufacturer's part number on Microcenter's website to the Asus website you get this model number: "S5602"

Here are the specs for those that want to see them.

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

Can someone confirm if this is UHD or XE graphics. I believe UHD is older and "weaker"?

This seems like a pretty darn good deal, but I really wanted one with a 14" screen (or around). Very tempting and I have a microcenter an hour away so I could check it out if they have it on display.
For a little more

It is 8GB of onboard with one spot allowing an additional 8GB of RAM (total 16GB). I had to contact ASUS to confirm today

Quote from BrianV31 :
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.
Which is about~60% sRGB. The main thing you will see is that the colors might not be quite as saturated and 100% sRGB screens, but IPS and the brightness will let you forget that looking at this screen in isolation.

That is, it's good enough for general use. I'm a screen snob, prefer OLEDs, but have a few low gamut screens and they're fine for general use.

Microcenter states: "Total Memory: 8GB | Memory Slots (Total): 1 | Memory Slots (Available): 1)"

IF they are describing accurately, either it's (A) one slot board with 8 in place, almost certainly able to be replaced with 16 stick, or (B) 8 soldered with an open slot for anything up to 16.

I'd bet the latter over a coin toss, and say max is 24.

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.
If they're going to be using a desk primarily, get the one of those intel nuc or something similar. if used items are OK, you can get HP 800 G4 with i5/i7 cpu with around 200-250. another option is "Mini pcs" from amazon , they all come with cpu, ram even Windows 10 pro for less than or around 250.

is this overkill for my 70 year old parents who just watch stuff on youtube/surf the internet, check email, and do stock management?
Check out the asus vivobook 14 for them. It's like $250 or less.
