Q: suport an M.2 Pcie 4.0?

A: The ASUS ViviBook M1605XA supports an M.2 2280 PCIe, Gen4x4 SSD.

Q: Doesn't look like it has a fingerprint reader, does it?

A: No, this laptop doesn't have a fingerprint reader or scanner.

Q: Is the case plastic or metal?

A: Specs say aluminum...?

Q: Hello, A previous question asked if the RAM was upgradable. The ASUS web site shows "8GB DDR5 on board 8GB DDR5 SO-DIMM Max Total system memory up to:16GB" This already has 16GB of RAM. Was the answer wrong?

A: According to Crucial, it has 8GB soldered and 8GB in a SODIMM slot, but they are not dual channel. They say you can replace the 8GB SODIMM with a 16GB SODIMM although someone said a 32GB SODIMM works as well.
