  RAM Maximum Capacity: 16 GB

  Glad to see this, but Ryzen 3/8GB/256GB seems to be around this price normally?

  Was this price in November at Amazon btw

  I wonder how easy it'll be to upgrade to 16gb

    According to this, it's single channel with a spare slot

    According to this it's dual channel soldered

    Memory8192 MB
    , LPDDR4X, dual-channel, no vacant slots, RAM soldered

    I'd hedge a bet on probably don't bank on it being upgradable as LPDDR4X

      yeah I read a review of this exact model on amazon and they say it's soldered, no spare slot

  I spilt coffee in my laptop, computer guy couldn't fix it or retrieve data so I had a go at taking it apart myself, cleaned all connections with isopropyl alcohol, left to dry and put back together. Works fine now, just lost right click on trackpad. Might be worth a shot if you need to retrieve data from yours. Turned it off straight away after the spill too which might have helped

    There’re some tiny star screws on the back of mine that I can’t get off.Was going to take them to a repair shop to let them have a go tomorrow.

    Worst case scenario is I’d get a ssd back

  Worth it to spend a bit more to get this https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-VivoBook-Processor-Fingerprin… ? Better processor, double the storage and free shipping with prime.

    These Asus Amazon deals seem to be popular with people here and personally I'd probably go with this but $170 isn't 'a bit' more
