I have one of these I bought 3 weeks ago (It was $399 then).

The Doc's specs are correct. It's 1920x1200. It's a great laptop for the price.

So I bought this laptop.

Yes the 1920 x 1200 resolution is correct.
No the keyboard isn't backlit.
Yes the RAM is expandable. I took out the 4Gb stick and added a Kingston FURY Impact 16GB stick. Now I have 24 GB of RAM.

there is absolutely NO way that is even remotely correct, this resolution does not exist in laptops, it would either be 1600x900 or 1366x768, but it's neither, it's 1920x1200.

Best buy says the screen is 1600x768 and it is HD, not even Full HD or IPS.

Good deal. Note, although the specs state the keyboard is backlit, the reviews confirm it is not.

I own it, processor is a beast, the 1920x 1200 LCD panel is decentish - my two regrets: 1) Asus' odd keyboard (keypad) layout that's 2) not backlit (tho it feels nice to type on). I imaged the SSD as a plan B then installed Win10Pro (Win11 = yuck) using a hack and a Windows 8.1 license.

the deal breaker for me is no USB-C charging or display option thru USB-C.

Gotcha. Seems pretty dumb that Best Buy doesn't link the correct specs, but whatever.

Seems like it.

I want to know if a 2.5" drive can be added. The only mentioned under Expansion Slots is about the RAM

No backlight? The website says it is. That's weird. Is there a button to toggle it perhaps?

This would be a great buy for me IF it had HDMI 2.0.
It only has HDMI 1.4. Can only output 4k @ 30hz max

Picked one up today. Just need something for working at coffee shops and seems like a solid deal for that. The screen is good enough if you're not in direct sunlight. Seemed to be running smoothly with everything I'd ever need memory wise (launched 4 browsers playing video, opened up a webcam app, had Spotify and discord up). Let that run for about 2 hours at full brightness and battery got to about 60%. Gonna confirm I can upgrade the RAM to future proof it a bit, but at that point I'll keep it. Only real bummer for me is the inputs, but I'll probably never really care.

They found a way to keep us from complaining about 8 GB of RAM without having to give it 16GB. Sneaky bastards.

EDIT: Ooooh…4GB SODIMM, so it is upgradable. Nice deal!
