A: No it is soldered. It comes with low voltage LPDDR4x 4266 MHz Ram.

Q: Is the body metal or plastic?

A: This laptop's body material is aluminum and it meets the ultra-demanding MIL-STD 810H military standard for reliability and durability, undergoing a punishing test regime that includes extended tests for operation in harsh environments including extreme altitudes, temperatures and humidity.

Q: Does this laptop have a screen digitizer to support a digital pen? If so, what pen works with this? Microsoft’s, Bamboo, or what other brand, if any?

Q: Can I update the SSD 256 to 512??? Or Can I add a HDD 1 TB extra with SSD

A: Found that this computer only supports up to 1TB, according to my discovering opening this laptop, there is only one m.2 which is the main storage. No other slots or ways to have an extra slot of memory.

Q: is its core, ị5 ?

Great laptop on sale, but not at MSRP
Great laptop for school work and general computing on the go. The 8 core Ryzen processor (don't be fooled by the 5 in the name, it's actually a Zen 2) is excellent at multitasking, and while the GPU is a cut-down version of the GTX 1650, it is better than the iGPU and will allow you to run 3D applications and some relatively new games. This laptop can also fold into a tablet mode, as it automatically turns off the keyboard and Windows 11 is easy to use with the touchscreen option. The camera is OK but it does come with face recognition, which works 95% of the time. It doesn't get too hot nor loud under stress, and you don't have to worry about the surface that this laptop sits on because the air comes out mostly out of the duct that's below the screen. The build quality doesn't feel cheap. Typing on the keyboard and using the trackpad is a delightful experience, and it features a numpad, which can be useful to some people. Here's where this laptop is lacking: having an 8 core processor with only 8 GB of RAM kind of defeats the purpose of multitasking that the CPU is capable of, and the worst part is it's soldered to the motherboard. For a better use of memory that you're stuck with forever I'd suggest debloating the OS right away or installing Linux. The screen is super glossy when it's at low brightness and near a light source. Maybe the touch-screen feature explains the necessity of having a screen that can basically act as a mirror, or maybe this is just another marketing trick. Finally, the thing that's been infuriating me the most about this device. It is the power button. It is a really serious design flaw. Every time you happen to put it in your backpack on the side with the power button, it will turn off the laptop even if you tweak the power button settings to do nothing because it is meant to reset the computer after a long press in case of unresponsiveness. There's clearly space for it to be on the keyboard, so there should be no excuse to do just that and be normal like everyone else.

Great computer when on sale
I bought this computer for nursing school, during Black Friday. I got an open box certified for $439 which is wild to me. This computer is great. Light for the size, very fast and clear screen. The battery is much better than I expected. Couldn’t of found a better deal.

Amazing 2-in-1 machine for the price!
The simplest way to say this is if you are debating on this Zenbook 15.6", stop debating and order it now. Especially if you snag this on sale, you just cannot beat the price with the specs this 2-in-1 features! AMD Ryzen 7 5000 Series CPU, NVIDIA graphics suitable for basic gaming, all-aluminum body, and an IR camera with Windows Hello facial recognition. Need I say more? Performance is excellent, the touchscreen is responsive and the laptop has a nice selection of ports. I cannot come up with a single criticism, but I will say to be realistic with your battery life expectations.
