Do not own and cannot speak for certain. But if you look at Q&A on the product's Amazon page, Asus responds to this question stating that "Yes, this model supports up to 16GB." That would make sense. Many of the other large Vivobooks have 8GB soldered, and one open SODIMM slot.

Where'd you find Intel UHD graphics in 2023?

A 17" 1080p monitor, is it 2005?
I wouldn't buy a notebook with a 17" 1080p display personally. But you might be surprised that at this price point 17" notebook computers often have even worse displays, plenty with 1600 x 900 for example.

Overall if you are shopping at this price point and absolutely *must* have a 17" display, I would absolutely consider this machine.

From what I can find, it seems it has an empty RAM slot and a soldered 8GB. Poor display & short battery life are probably the main shortcomings:

A couple years ago, I bought a different Asus/different site in the $400 range. Although the PC ran fine, connecting any USB and even the power cable resulted in the connection feeling stuck and having to yank out any USB, cord or drive with an unreasonable amount of force.

Pulling out a USB drive, the laptop literally slid across the desk trying to get it out (there wasn't any kind of release button). I ended up returning it for that reason.

That was the only laptop I (briefly) owned. Is this characteristic of Asus or has anyone else experienced this with other brands? Was it a price range thing, etc ?

The review link above shows a SODIMM slot.

I wouldn't buy a notebook with a resolution *greater* than 1080p personally. I get a large screen notebook because, like 90%+ of the population my age, my near-vision is crap, and I don't want to have to hunt for my glasses every time I need to look at my notebook's screen. It would be a foolish waste of money for me to pay for extra resolution I'm not visually able to perceive in the first place. Annoys the fk out of me when people imply that manufacturers should discontinue a certain type of product because they themselves personally don't need/want it.

I've owned over a dozen notebooks, almost all of them on the cheap end, including a couple asus, and never had that experience. I don't think I've ever even heard of anyone having it that I can recall offhand. I think you may have just had bad luck-of-the-draw. Subjectively, quality control on electronics seems a lot more random to me than it used to be Frown

Don't buy really hard to upgrade because it put bit locker on ssd and laptop so you have to do a whole lot of hacking to get through u can't just format a ssd and put it inside
