😂 everytime I click on these lower priced oled laptops I feel like grandpa Simpson in that meme with Bart where he enters the room and then quickly leaves again, once I see soldered 8gb ram

You can get the 16GB model with Intel 13700H also on sale: $799 new or $671 open-box excellent.

I think any of these are good deals ... if there's a way to get a machine with a high resolution 120Hz OLED display for less I've yet to hear it.

Oh lord, dont mention the soldered memory and possible soldered SSD. You're going to have the "soldered is fine" experts here.

I just can't believe any 13th gen laptop and an OLED is shipping with only 8gb of soldered RAM. What a despicable waste!
Yeah it kills the deal. Definitely would look into the 16gb version for a bit more if you really want this laptop
Apple does it all day long with machines twice the price.

Quote from PaperLuigi :
To be fair, soldered ram is much more forgiveable when the laptop comes with 16GB to begin with (as is the case in your link). It's the combination of the soldered ram and the paltry 8GB capacity that makes that makes this post bad at $600.
Yeah and when the RAM goes bad, it's a new whole overpriced OEM board, off to the dump it goes, or just live with the ramdom crashing. Also a lot of these newer soldered memory laptops also has their storage soldered in also. We're heading back to the 90's with disposable computers again. After the failure of netbooks, you would think these companies have learned something. But here we are again.

Considering it costs them next to nothing to add another 8GB RAM chip. They must be in a race to the bottom for pricing.

Can not be used as a desktop replacement with lid closed(external monitor, keyboard and mouse). It would overheat and shut down randomly. As a laptop it is great

Yeah I call bs. If it allows you to swap the ram it's already a completely different model since the ones in this series are soldered only. I'm also pretty sure this is a best buy exclusive model
My apologies I thought this was the vivobook not zenbook.
https://www.costco.com/asus-14.5%...55601.html

It has essentially the same screen

All good, when I googled, that laptop came up too. The specs are relatively comparable, the two biggest things that differ i think are the older 12th gen intel processors on the vivobook and the vivobook doesn't have a touch screen.

It's in store only and on clearance if it is still available. Ram is upgradeable on the costco one.

Depending on the model it is either limited to 8 or 16GB soldered?
No socket to add your own?


8GB LPDDR5 on board
Total system memory upgradeable to:8GB
*Supports dual-channel memory.

I am having problems with this too. Pluggable is sending me a new dock, but it hasn't been powering down once I flipped the laptop over so it is getting more circulation.

Hi. Does anyone know if there is a Laptop with a 6840u or 7840u but also has thunderbolt? Looking for something with a decent iGPU for travel but using a eGPU while at home.

If you are interested in a similar spec, check on this at Costco.

https://www.costco.com/Acer-Swift...56763.html

The difference is the OP deal CPU is 13th gen and touch display. With $100 less, you get 16GB memory and non-touch display.

I'm not big on zenbooks that don't have discrete gpus.

I do have a general question though based on the comments in this thread.
The consensus seems to be that no one likes soldered ram but if you are looking at zenbooks the market is for the thinnest lightest laptops possible yeah?
Soldered ram is both thinner and lighter than unsoldered ram. So you either get soldered ram in the thin/light option or you get unsoldered ram and thicker/heavier form factors.
What is the main complaint?
Just that it's a smaller memory size and upgrading soldered ram is a huge pain compared to sticks?

I believe most soldered RAMs are not upgradable. 16GB soldered would be acceptable for a working laptop because you probably won't need more memory than that. If you are concerned about a discrete GPU, you are looking at a wrong laptop. Laptops with 14" screen with no gpu are typically for work.

You hit the nail on the head. If these were 16GB and 32GB as the options, it'd be better. 8GB is a bit of a crime these days for a "premium" device, which is what these are considered. That's really fixable if RAM was upgradable but kills the deal posted in this thread for most. It's kinda like a flagship phone shipping with only 64GB of storage these days. That's unacceptable and unfixable.
