You need to be careful about this. The Vivobook has screens with and without IPS. The ads always list 178 degree viewing angle with a "3". In the case of Newegg, it is no where to be found.

Um, at least for gaming you really dont need to go past 16GB for ram cause after that, the ram performance ratio drops off to basically 0.

Screen is decent and probably on par with other laptops in this price range.
You can still see it outside but this is definitely not going to blow you away.

1 slot for RAM (other slot is for empty for soldered on RAM)
The included stick is 8GB DDR4 2666, and the Vega 10 brings you down to ~6GB usable.

ASUS has stopped using IPS in their descriptions over the last year or two (likely due to some trademark or licensing issues). When they say 178 degrees wideview, it is the same technology as IPS.
