The Microcenter listing refers to one 16GB memory module occupying one of two slots. The Asus service manual also refers to there being two slots:

https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASU...el=K6604JI

The manual doesn't mention more than one M.2 slot.
4 lbs actually isn't that bad for a laptop with these specs. Gaming laptops with similar specs usually push 5 lbs or more. But if you want a travel laptop that's relatively light, you might have to settle for one that doesn't have a dGPU.
Oos near me in CA. Seems like the best bang for buck laptop by quite a margin. Hopefully they restock but I'm assuming the price is so low in order to blow out remaining inventory.

Quote from Christophorus :
Do you still remember the error code on the blue screen? If it's a software issue, should be an easy fix with a clean reinstall without any buggy vendor software. But if it's a hardware issue or a design flaw, it's not going to worth it. I'm still on the fence.
I don't but it was an asus blue screen that would cause random restarts

It wouldn't boot Windows 11 from a usb, cd, or from the internet.
Checked ram, ssd, went thru all the troubleshooting, ended up being that the motherboard was bad

got a new one today, rolling the dice again because the deal is that stupid.

So did you remove the existing 16GB onboard memory and then install 2 additional 32gb to bring it to 64gb? If yes, which brand and configuration?

It'd be a great price for a 3080m, 3080ti m or 4080m. It's not that great a price or weight for a 4070m.
Sure, it's cool to think, "I got a 4070 in this thing" but that's just Nvidia's marketing. In reality, you get a weak mobile GPU that performs worse than a 3070ti m (which was a mediocre GPU to begin with).

What are you smoking? You're expecting a 4080 AND an i9 for $1100?!?!

This is actually a pretty good price for a laptop with these specs...

how to block Micro Center deals from showing on my news feed ? those deals from that store are all promotional purpose

How so? They clearing out the stock and i literally got one today from it. In fact with their credit card you get 5-10% extra off if paid in full (ie billed 1100 due thirty days from now )

I removed the existing 16gb onboard memory and installed 2 32 gb sticks to bring it to 64.

I didn't claim there was a laptop with a 3080/3080ti/4080ti with an i9 13980hx 500nits for $1000.

Work on your reading comprehension instead of throwing tantrums online. Child.

Calling someone a child while your name is poopi is hilarious. You should also comprehend what you wrote. Saying something isn't a good deal, because something at a better spec should be this price, eludes to the idea that you've consistently seen 3080/3080ti/4080 at this price point ($1100). Because if you haven't seen it, what is your statement based on. Is that better Mr/Ms/they adult person?

Just copped an open box one yesterday at Houston MC for $934 + tax, other than some smudges at the front lid, everything else is like new. Still going through the burn in process, but so far so good, there is probably a lot of could have should haves but at this price point, this thing can't be beat

Hilarious. It's not childish to have an immature name in an online forum. This isn't a professional environment. You're grasping at straws. Throwing a tantrum is childish no matter where.

No it doesn't elude to that idea. It's all in your head. My statement is based on reality instead of marketing. This isn't a desktop 4070 we're talking about. The gap between 4060m and 4070m is tiny compared to the gaps between 4050m and 4060m and between 4070m and 4080m. 3070ti m outperforms it. That's been on sale for 900 multiple times and I think even below that a few times. 4060m laptops go on sale for 7-800 with better CPUs.

Will this system be enough to run the meta quest 3 for VR sim racing?

Dell G15, Lenovo Legion 5, Lenovo Legion Slim 5. They all come with Ryzens. Ryzens are all better than Intel except most recent gen (which 13th gen isn't).
