This is, however, still the lowest it has been. It was this price just once before.
As far as the 8GB RAM is concerned and what people are crying over. Truth is, they don't know their limitations while buying this or any laptop with 8GB RAM. If you buy this expecting to do photo or video editing, open 50+ chrome tabs, and create extensive spreadsheets, then you're the only one to blame.
I've been using an 11th gen i5 convertible with 8GB RAM as my daily driver for the past 1.5 years and it has held up absolutely nicely and hasn't made any noticeable or frustrating stutters or delays. I regularly open around 10-20 chrome tabs max.
For internet browsing, light productivity, and media consumption, 8GB is absolutely fine.
Yes, the only major drawback is the lack of future proofing.

And people should be "crying" over this.. if there weren't ppl crying over it.. companies would continue to shaft consumers and continue to put 8GB in computers.. hell.. why not lower it to 6GB! and make 8GB an upgrade!
but I get it.. ppl need to defend their purchase so they don't feel bad and not just understand what the principle behind it is.
That said.. for $299.. I could live with 8GB of RAM with all the other specs of this computer

Then ram collusion happened and average ram went DOWN for a few years because it became super expensive, people spending like $200-300 on 16gb ram kits for ryzen 1. But ram is reasonably priced again now.
8gb is truly a pathetic amount of ram. I had that in 2007 (4x 2gb ddr2) and played Crysis with that and a 8800GTX and a core2 duo. 16 years ago.
No one runs 20 chrome tabs with 8gb. The tabs get put to sleep and the state written to disk. Thats why there's a delay clicking between tabs on 8gb. Only 2-3 are active. If you do any real work with multiple programs then that becomes very frustrating. If it weren't for fast SSDs doing the heavy lifting it would be painfully obvious just how inadequate 8gb is.

I can't expect a laptop with an OLED screen and a much much higher resolution to even cost $299. There are premium chromebooks that will just do fine with browsing and some reach $300 or more and you still don't get an OLED screen. The reason the price for this is $500 is because the ram is only 8gb and many people pass on it when it's priced higher. and the reason Asus put 8GB is because it's still possible to do computing at 8GB outside of games and heavy applications.
I would pull the trigger if it had EITHER RAM upgradeability or an extra SSD slot.

If you're doing complex work, then yes you need 32gb+. 16gb should really be the min. My 2007 Dell V1500 has 8gb, so yeah it's strange.
Edit: I got the open-box one. $300 is a great value. More than that I would go with a ROG one.

You may be able to 'get by' with 8...but why just get by? Also, what's weird is when they sell pc's with 12gb, that annoys me even more...just up the price a bit and have 16!
I am still rocking the $200 Motile laptop from 3.5 yrs ago (with upgrade to 8GB RAM), and for what I do with it (browsing, YouTube, light gaming, Word, PowerPoint) it still runs well. And that is with single channel memory.
My wife's 8 year old laptop with 8GB of RAM also runs well for what she does (similar stuff as me except more multitasking on a 4k display, some charting/EMR).
It's amazing how a design choice in Chrome (make use of any free RAM to store pages rather than the disk cache) combined with people keeping 50 tabs open has promulgated the RAM myth. I am OK with that, as it just drives the price of this machine lower. But who knows, maybe I am OK with it because this laptop has more than 10,000 times the RAM on my first PC (640kb).
ps. Looks more just game laptops the brands will allow ppl to upgrade themselves, it's sales trap, the commerce should forbidden or punish them for intentionally leave a small memory size to keep ppl upgrade the whole thing, while they could easily make it upgradable, unlike phone memory.
