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.

Have to remember to not make too many changes at once. With updates and redesigns it's like starting from scratch. Even worse is when you have to modify for old hardware.
The whole chicken egg paradox. Linux/Windows eh 💩 an 🍎. 👀 like dysfunctional usually have an edge psychology of technical knowledge and open source it's a wild ride; plus old people like to mess with your head. I think it's a right they believe they have earned.
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.
I wish they included a normal black esc keycap. What is up with the Orange???
The orange escape key is weird and kinda retro. It's nice that it includes a fingerprint sensor and a camera blocker. The screen is definitely an improvement over my last budget ASUS.

Has anyone viewed this in person, does it appear to be IPS when viewed at all angles or does it blur/color shift somewhat upon angles.
