Received a price drop for this budget small laptop in my email. Good price for a combination of Ryzen 8640U + 2K 13.3" monitor. Only downside is soldered 16G RAM.
The screen is anti-glare which is better to look if you are using outdoor under sunlight.

RAM not expandable?
"Only downside is soldered 16G RAM"
Soldered = Not upgradable
Brings the whole empire down
If you have the equipment and a steady hand, or know someone that can replace the memory.
Is there any laptops in 13" which can replace ram?
Framework 13
And this laptop is half of that price lol
in what circumastances do you need more than 16 ram
Plenty. Most of them you're not doing on a budget 13 inch laptop though.
If you are running Windows 11 and using Chrome + Microsoft Office Software, 16G is very easy to be used up. Never used up in Windows 10 before.
Im running window 11 + tons of chrome / edge windows/tabs, Ms apps and Eclipse, hasn't restart my pc in six months and no issues with 16G lol
It’s already the new minimum amount.
"in what circumastances do you need more than 16 ram"
Maybe if you need to run a spellchecker?
Any other laptops weighing 1Kg around this price point $800.
Virtually impossible to find a brand new Light weight (1Kg) Touch Screen laptop even for $1000 or under even with 16GB soldered RAM
Very happy with the 1920x1200 R7 8840U version from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/875124
Matte non-glossy non-touch is a must/positive for me. Would have preferred this for over $200 less as it's great deal IMO.
Good for gaming?
Nope.
Small battery at 43Wh kills this deal
This still gets over 8 hours battery life
Touch screen?
