I bought one and it has been solid. Battery life is very bad, but I rarely use it on the go. Noise is not too bad once you use the Asus tools to turn the fans down. I upgraded the memory to 40GB by adding a single 32GB stick.
This is a pretty good price for an OLED fast laptop. Of course the battery life and noise level won't be as good. They should've used a U or P cpu instead!

ASUS webpage says:
8GB DDR4 on board
4GB DDR4 SO-DIMM
Total system memory upgradeable to:16GB
But Crucial.com and MrMemory.co.uk (don't know if that's a reliable site) do show the SO-DIMM slot can accept a 16GB stick for 24GB total/max.

G.Skill RipJaws Series 32GB (1 x 32GB) 260-Pin SO-DIMM PC4-25600 DDR4 3200 CL22-22-22-52 1.20V Single Channel Memory Model F4-3200C22S-32GRS
Battery life is okay if you turn all settings to low (power mode, fan speed, refresh rate, display brightness). With these settings you're negating the advantages of having an Alder Lake cpu and OLED display.
Sharp and beautiful OLED screen and feels well-built. Integrated Iris Xe graphics is good for low-res light gaming. Can't login with the camera but it does have a fingerprint reader for Windows Hello. Two Thunderbolt 4 ports!

It comes with a 90W USB-C power supply. I purchased some used Dell 90W USB-C power supplies off eBay for about $15 each and they work great with this laptop. I keep the additional power supplies in different locations so that I don't need to take a power supply with me.
