8GB of RAM is pretty standard at these price levels but the great news is it has two DIMM slots only one of which is occupied. So you should be able to upgrade to 16GB for less than $40.
Also note that that CPU has Intel Xe graphics with 80 EUs. While I wouldn't buy this specifically for gaming, it is not bad for previous-gen games (most games before 2020) and approaches Steam Deck levels. This is also pretty rare to find at this price point.
- Battery life was pretty poor. Out of the box it estimated 2hr and 20 minutes of use watching YouTube. Maybe it has some additional updates in the background but I didn't see any major processes .
- this charges via barrel plug. USB C is only data. Not DisplayPort.
- the charger that comes in the box is very flimsy looking, making the fact it's a barrel plug and not type c even worse. I don't see the plug lasting very long since the wire is so thin.
- monitor is 100% IPS and great viewing angles, but the colors are muted, so keep that in mind this is a no go for any artwork production
The power bit is why I'm ultimately returning, but again a great computer for a kid who isn't going to be traveling with this much. It's surprisingly sturdy and firm for a cheap laptop with no flex. It doesn't feel budget at all from a case standpoint and keyboard is decent

I've never seen any laptop near this price with USB4 though. Maybe you can find something based on Intel 11th gen near this price range with usb4 but the CPU will be older and not quite as good as this deal.

You can find Lenovo IdeaPads that come with 300-nits IPS display but they either come with the Intel 13th Gen processor or with non-upgradeable RAM, not to mention most of them are 15.6".
