Honestly I thought it was a misprint in Walmart's description that carried over to SlickDeals but this makes it sound like Asus is claiming milspec on all their consumer laptops. Note, doesn't appear to have any water resistance, just high humidity.

Is this a good laptop for web browsing, light gaming? Thanks!
Depends on what you mean by "light gaming." I have a very similar laptop with a i3-1215U and that can run Far Cry 5 at 30-40 FPS (average, there can be dips) with close the lowest settings @ 720p. The i3-1220P appears to be about 20% faster than my CPU so you should get better performance than that. Note this and my laptop are both using integrated graphics so the gaming performance will be 100% CPU driven. Frankly I think FC5 is pushing it for my PC so I was happy with the result as I never expected it to be close to playable on my config. I just wanted something I could play older games on while traveling.
wife's Chromebook died the other day would this be a good replacement for the money? I'm kinda out of the loop these days on the different processors.
I'm stereotyping here, but I'm assuming that if your wife was doing most of her online activities on a Chromebook that it was relatively simple applications rather than intensive ones. A few browser tabs and word processing, that sort of thing. If that's the case, this should be plenty for that. Where you might be a little disappointed is that it only has eight gigabytes of RAM, but if you add another eight then you should be perfectly fine. Having more RAM would enable having more tabs open at one time or more apps in use. Personally, this feels like a pretty good deal for a new laptop. Nice big screen. At this price range, it's going to have flaws but for the money for a new laptop it's reasonable

The should be a good replacement, especially if you are looking for large screen. Other than the possibly shorter battery life (as compared with a CB), I believe this is more than capable for doing what the CB was handling for your wife. 12th Gen CPUs have huge leap in the performance over the 11th Gen.

I would say for a Windows 11 laptop, 4GB is the bare minimum, 8GB is good for most general user for tasks like Office/youtube/zoom/web-browsing, but it's always good to have 16GB for more buffer (the RAM is really cheap now) for no lagging at all.

Based on my experience, ASUS/Lenovo/Acer new laptops are easy to open up for upgrades. HP is a little bit harder.
Just google for some videos for reference.
Not difficult at all as long as your are patient and careful during the process.
