A: No, it has 8GB LPDDR4X memory and LPDDR4X memory is always soldered type.

Q: Is the mx450 gddr6 or gddr5 ?

A: I can confirm that this is using the GDDR6 version of the MX450, however it is the low power variant of 12 watts. It's also strange, because the ASUS website lists this model as the GDDR5 version, but it's clearly wrong. Check attachments below. You can set the laptop to "Performance" mode to enable the MX450 to boost to 25W using myAsus (software included). However, the GPU will not sustain a full boost clock and will fluctuate. The power adapter must be plugged in for performance mode to work.

A: You CANNOT upgrade the ram but you can upgrade the ssd. There is only one m.2 slot.

Q: What is the screen brightness in terms of nits?

A: It has a 250-nits 100% sRGB Panel.

Q: The gpu mx450 is 12 w gddr6 right?can i increase the tdp w?

A: Yes u can increase it to 25w if u use performance mode but the power cable must be plugged in for the mode to work

A: Yes. Benchmarks show it running Valorant at around 200 fps at 1080p high settings.
