FYI: looks like RAM isn't upgradeable
8gb in 2023 is completely unusable. Look at all these in game benchmarks where 16gb is absurdly faster with more frame per second accross a handful of games.

https://youtu.be/JcI07LTmt90

Miss me with that terrible, 1 FPS drop.

But seriously, people who comment on how terrible 8GB is on an open box, $360 laptop have absolutely zero context for the needs of someone who is buying a used laptop for...again...$360. Seriously Chad and Karen, I get it. I won't be able to command the ISS to do an orbit keeping manuever or manage the Starlink constellation.

I wish my laptop laptop was fasrer. But I only.notice it when I am trying to merge 12 photos in a panorama. Not when I am surfing the internet. I notice in inkscape when I am tracing an image, not when I am managing my finances. Sure...I cannot use Blender and recreate a 1:1 model of Coruscant, but I can watch a youtube video of someone doing that.
Dear ASUS,
Stop soldering RAM on laptops.
Sincerely,
The people who won't take this crap

I've had mine since the front page deal at $500/$550. I love this laptop. 8gb is fine for most day to day task. Light gaming is okay too but don't expect much with 8gb of ram and integrated graphics. But the screen is amazing.

Yea that's not great but at this price it's fine.

edit: the screen alone adds a lot of value here, take that away and yes the non upgradable ram is a big downside. I'm one of the first to complain about it on other laptops lol

Linux users rejoice, as 8GB is perfectly usable. Would make for a very nice machine.

8GB is good for Chrome OS but not for Windows. Would have bought if it could be upgraded.
it works just fine for Win11, if it's OK or not, depends on the applications you use.

Asus/Bestbuy really want you to super-size this laptop with $120 more features, for $500 more, much more profit for them.
