You can add one 32GB RAM stick to this laptop for a total of 40GB. Each DDR5 module runs in dual channel. DDR5 moved the controller to the Ram module and each module runs with 2 x 32bit channels. Even running a single stick of DDR5 you will still be running dual channel unlike DDR4 where two sticks were required for dual channel. There are about 5 other threads on here regarding this laptop.

Specs look great. Some really good/detailed reviews on BestBuy's site (paid or somehow compensated reviews it seems). Only downside, for me, is the 60Hz screen. 120Hz and I'd might try it out.

I had this one with AMD, the 1080p OLED screen really is not that good. I think looking at 1440p screens is good at this price point. Once you use a 1440p laptop you can't go back to 1080. Esp at 15.6 inch. Just my 2 cents.

RAM max is 16 GB

I think we will have to wait for someone to try it. The I9 version says 16 per slot. This version says 8 onboard and 8 in a slot. Makes me think you can also put 16 in the slot making the max 24gb Ram. I hate onboard RAM. Very weird.

Thanks for this ddr5 specific info. This makes it absolutely sh*tshow on Asus's part to not put a 16GB stick instead of 2 8GBs when one slot is soldered.

I'm looking to buy one of these Asus laptops. This one or the 14x for $700 is a better deal?

Agreed, but I highly doubt the typical consumer would ever upgrade their ram. I'd buy this laptop if it wasn't 15.6"
