I know the 2nd picture says IPS and if you scroll down in the body of the landing page it has the same pictured info.

Is Staples posting false information in the pictures?
Staples is not always trustworthy for specs they show.
I can't verify panel specs for this particular model to confirm on Asus' site, or YT.
I suppose we could expect TN and hope for IPS, which also gives a reason to return if you can't deal with it.

Really nice laptop for the price.

My only gripe is that the power outlet is on the right side of the laptop, but it's no big deal, and I wish it had an additional NVMe slot.

I would recommend adding an additional 8GB of RAM, which is easy to do. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C4Z69LN

Also installing FxSound improved the sound and boosted the volume. https://www.fxsound.com/

Staples also has a 16GB one with a smaller 15.6" screen for the same price.

I have the 16x version of this laptop and it's blown me away. It is incredible for the price. I added 32gb of memory for 40gb total. It is a great machine and while it's missing many many niceities like a backlit keyboard ports screen etc the machine has been great to work with. If you're on a budget you can't get better specs and I definitely recommend the overall package.

Model number is F1704VAP-SB52. VAP stand for VA panel? If so, not ips nor TN . It think VA panel is somewhere middle. What do you guys think?

I saw the following review, not sure it's still a problem

Models Physically Unable to Update Windows 11 !!!
Don't do it. Microsoft has bulletin that Vivobooks and some models won't update Windows 11. Hours already with ASUS tech support for new computer. Tried to update even though service bulletin says you shouldn't. Now cannot factory reset. Taking back. Should not be selling a unit that cann't be updated! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us...424msgdesc https://windowsforum.com/threads/...ls.344166/

Windows 11 is already installed, no problems installing updates either.

I'm a Boomer and use a Chromebook. This laptop is plenty powerful enough for many people's use, without any upgrades.
