24GB. There's 8 soldered and one free slot that will take up to 16GB. I've purchased two of these in the past for family members, upgraded RAM and SSD with stuff I have lying around, and they've loved this laptop for everyday use.

Here's where I struggle with a laptop like this--if you're going to use it "as is" then it's a sold deal. Yet if you're thinking "well, I can upgrade the RAM, and get a bigger hard drive then it'll be perfect"...well, let's say it costs $50 for RAM and $50 for a larger SSD. Now you're up to $300...

Yet here's a Lenovo with 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD for $290, and it's got a better (i5) processor.

Again if an i3, and 8 GB RAM works for you, then by all means this is a nice deal, It's just that most I think would be looking to upgrade this laptop, and you can find better deals out there, and very likely on Cyber Monday.

If RAM upgrades are a must when purchasing this laptop, then check RAM price before ordering. Prices have more than doubled since June. The AI bros are sucking up RAM and driving up prices. Current electronic gadgets were manufactured before the price run. Look for increasing prices on all electronic devices if the AI bubble doesn't burst soon. Good luck.

Good deal if you don't mind the non-backlit keyboard. If you want a 15.6" instead go with the one from Dell and get the 10% new user coupon.

These are good cheap laptops, but keep in mind their limited ports mean you won't be able to use them for anything more than basic stuff. The USB-C port is USB only, no charging and no video output. Combined with the HDMI 1.4 port means the max external display you will ever be able to connect is 1 monitor up to 1440p 60hz.

I bought this a couple months ago from BB for $204 or $209 maybe.
It's hard to argue you can find a better deal than this for a new, 13-14" everyday laptop.
The only downside I found was no USB-c charging (one of those barrel connection chargers.)

Simple and cheap to upgrade the RAM (as noted above) and SSD. Perfect everyday laptop for most family members, No, this is not for heavy gaming or media editing. But for the price, this checks a lot of boxes for a lot of people,
how loud is the cpu fan noise under heavy load?

Sorry I got mixed up with last years deal. I had seen some postings and thought it was the same deal on dell.com. Last year was definitely better. This one is $279 but from Amazon

The obvious drawbacks are the 8GB of RAM and the small hard drive.

Optimally both of those would be doubled in amount.

it just means you will have to connect multiple external monitors the old way, using display-link adapters so will require extra purchases.

have the 15.6" version of this laptop on a triple monitor setup. use the HDMI for center monitor, then 2 USB display link adapters i had from 10 yrs ago for L and R monitors. alternatively, can just get a USB displaylink hub as well

again, most are not using these base model Vivobooks for this setup, but it can be done. if you're looking for a laptop that can support triple 4K monitor setup via DP-Alt mode from a USB-C thunderbolt port, then you need to be looking at something other than the $200 price range

Can we change it regular windows 11 for free?
You can either turn off S mode through MS instructions or clean install Windows 11 Home (non-S), the latter is what I did. No problems.

with the price of memory and SSD's soaring, you have a good point. unless you have components sitting around from something else, it may be more cost effective to get something that already includes the sized components you need.

i recently checked out some 2x16GB memory pricing at Micro Center and was honestly shocked to see the price has more than doubled. i have a rig from a year or so ago where i put in 2x32GB for under $200. the same memory is now $680. it's insane
