Resolution was incorrectly listed at first, now corrected. 1900x1200 so FHD 16:10 aspect.
8GB is soldered. Answered by an owner in the Q&A.

Seems like a good buy. Only potential caveat I can see is that I don't find "IPS" anywhere. The ASUS product page doesn't list it, and the newegg product page says IPS-Level display. Luckily, it's probably not as hard to return when buying from BB if it doesn't work out.

Check Crucial's site, they usually have this info.

So, just to clarify:

1) is the SSD upgradable (aka slot vs soldered)
2) Is the max memory 16GB or 24GB?

Thanks

1) correct
2) You could put a 16GB in the slot currently having 4GB, sure. A user said they did so and no issues with gaming. But 8GB may be enough and may be a better choice for dual channel. I think I would go with a matching 8GB or leave it with 12GB. But RAM is cheap so you do you. For all I know you could sub in a 32GB sodimm for the 4GB stick? 40GB total. Often the mfg claims a certain max RAM that is really not the case. So, check around is my advice. I do not know what ASUS claims as max.
You can find users' experiences in the Q&A section also. Type in "upgrades". HTH

From Dr.'s old post: ASUS VivoBook 16X: 16" FHD+ IPS, Ryzen 7 5800HS, 12GB DDR4, 512GB SSD $449.99 (slickdeals.net)
Same model, and I think Dr. is always right.

That's nice, but per eBay's listing, and per BB it is not backlit. ASUS does state that is optional. I am gonna go with never say always and trust the owner, sellers, and mfg on this one as it is not standard.

If you still won't edit, that is not being responsible to your fellow SDers. I put this info in the wiki, in case you won't make the needed correction.
Backlit kbd is a requirement for me to consider. So it is important.
