As far as the memory goes, 4GB of DDR4 RAM soldered to the motherboard. Additionally, you have the option to upgrade it via the single SODIMM slot, which fits up to 16GB of DDR4 memory.

Remove S mode, look it up.

Looks like same specs as the vivobook 14 but with a slightly bigger screen. I got the 14 for $200. Replaced the 128GB with 2TB and added 32GB ram to total 36 GB but could've gotten by with $60 1TB and add 8GB ram for $20 which would have put it at $280, so if the 1.5" screen is worth it to you for $120, get it. The Ram upgrade as is a must as Windows 11 just running nothing for me maxed out the memory at 3.7GB, you can get an 8GB crucial memory stick that will significantly improve the experience, install it before even turning it on for the first time. t
The Kingston NVME ssd they include is slow, even for being gen 3.

Edit: OP update the post to show 8GB ram as per the website

Looks good, but it doesn't say how bright the screen is. (NITS?)

Also,... seems to be out of stock. 😔

Superior Deal at Staples $279 (on sale currently 44% off, not sure when ends): Vivobook with much better processor I3-1220p. In store, not for mail order.

Add crucial 8GB ram for $21 from amazon and you will have a Vivobook for $300: with 12GB ram, a vastly superior I3-1220P processor & twice the size hard drive 256GB.

Item #: 24527384 Model #: F1502ZA-SB33

It was a great deal - of course when I look at the Staples price now, it's gone up by $50...:-(

store had printed price tags for the item on display (at the $279), so if you see a store with inventory (based on the site), it may be worth a shot.

I called in advance to check inventory and was told there was 1 (although web inventory checker said 2). If price tag is the lower amount (vs site) they'll be inclined to honor the lower price.

***
note that windows 11 is spyware that is ridden with telemetry to power MSFTs new Ads business. Also, when going through installation it mandates opt-in to OS level usage data collection by Asus (Facepalm). Bonus: the machine comes preloaded with McAfee anti-virus software.

I wiped the entire OS and downgraded it to Windows 10 LTSC immediately ("MDL windows LTSC 2021") and recommend the same... for any Asus.

You're right - in store price is still $279 at my location (Palm Springs). But not in stock until wednesday. It's suppose to be $279 until Feb 4th according to instore display.
Is there any staples instore coupons available? I never shop at Staples so not very current on coupons for Staples.
