Q: What specific ram do I need in order to upgrade to 16GB of memory?
A: You can use Crucial memory. I know that works. The spec is DDR4 3200 SODIMM. You can confirm this using the Crucial site and plugging in this ASUS model. You would replace the removeable 4GB with an 8GB. The system max is 16GB and there is 8GB soldered on board so just use the 8GB to replace the 4GB. By the way there is a piece of protective tape on the 4GB chip, so remove that and put the tape on your new 8GB chip and then install it.
A: Not OLED. I think the confusion is that some models of the Vivobook 16 are OLED and cost more. This one is LED and I tested the colors and they are fantastic anyway.
A: you can not download anything that does not come from the Micro soft store. This is called the S-mode. It's suppose to be a security feature. But it can be turn off to allow installation of non MS software.
A: Not backlit, however the letters/numbers/symbols on each key are very large.
Q: Does this laptop have a usb c that supports a/v output?
A: The ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1603QA) does not support external displays via any USB port. In order to connect an external display you would need to use the HDMI 1.4 port.
Q: How long does the battery last and does it have Bluetooth connectivity?
A: The unit can last up to 4 hours on battery depending on usage, the unit as a Bluetooth 5 chip installed
Q: Is there a built in ( sd ) card reader ?
A: No there is not a built in one but you can buy one with the usb and they have a few usb spots.
Q: What IF any Upgradeable Componentes is Available for this Laptop? (aka) Ram, Storage...
A: You can replace the 4GB memory with an 8GB memory DDR4 3200 SODIMM. You could also upgrade the SSD. Note this SSD is not a 2.5 form factor but rather an M.2 type. By the way ASUS will not warranty the new parts of course.
