There are a number of odd things in the Target spec listing: 5 video out ports (not possible), Bluetooth 4.1 (they don't make WiFi cards with BT 4.1 anymore), LPDDR4x (hints at soldered RAM with no slots), USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C and Type A (laptops in this price range is generally 3.2 Gen 1 a.k.a. 3.0)

Here is what ASUS says about the 17 inch model F1704 [asus.com]:


12th Gen Intel Core i5-1235U 10-Core
Intel® UHD Graphics (memory in single channel mode)
17.3-inch IPS FHD (1920 x 1080) 16:9, 60Hz, 250nits, 45% NTSC color gamut
8GB DDR4, 1 SODIMM slot (Unsure if 8GB is soldered + 1 free slot or 8GB occupies the slot, assume the latter until proven otherwise)
512GB M2 PCIe 3x4 NVMe SSD in a PCIe 4x4 slot
Backlit Keyboard with Num-key
1x USB-C 3.0, 2x USB-A 3.0, 1x USB-A 2.0
HDMI 1.4, 3.5mm jack, DC Charger port
720p camera with privacy shutter
Wi-Fi 802.11ac Dual band 1x1 + Bluetooth 5.1 Wireless Card

FYI only. BT 4.1 on both. 1X1 Wi-fi for either one. Probably not too much to swap out wi-fi card, but no interest for me to look up the upgrade video on disassembly. Pretty good prices. Thanks and repped.

Closest availability I found on the 15.6" was Kingman, AZ (tried multiple zips in CA and Vegas and got nothing). A few local stores not too far away from me reporting 1 of the 17" model available so I might try to get one of those if I can find it.

Upgrading SSD and RAM looks pretty typical on the 15.4" (one memory slot, plus 8gb on-board, from Asus's specs):
https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASU...el=F1504ZA
If that picture is right, the wireless card also looks pretty accessible. Not sure if it would have the needed antennas to go with a 2x2 card.

I'm not finding a service manual for the 17" model.

Are you saying I would also need to add another antenna to make use of a 2x2 wi-fi card? I have never swapped one out.

Should be, just need to be careful with your temps as this will probably get very hot if you run a lot of plugins/VSTs. If the included 512GB SSD is not enough, factor in the cost of an external drive or a larger internal drive if you don't have one already.

I have liked every ASUS I have owned. They are reliable and not buggy. They are also a tier cheaper than Lenovo. Go for the 15.6 inch with 16 GB ram already installed.
