Hey! I got an Asus vivobook 16x pro in August 2022. It's the i7 with 16gb ddr4 ram. Ideally I need to upgrade as I'm constantly using 90% ram running photoshop (big files) but all the info I'm finding is conflicting. I'm seeing it's 8gb soldered and 8gb removable. I'm also seeing all 16gb is soldered so non removable. If anyone has any idea which it is, it'd be a massive help! Thanks in advance!

You may have to open it and look. This video makes it look pretty straight forward to take a look --

sometimes like kanewolf says you just have to look, laptops be like that, specs are not as readily available, however this review (published in 2022) says it has 32gb so if yours only has 16 I'd be willing to bet it's upgradeable

edit: a bit of detective work, this other laiter review says: ...at Amazon with a standard 16GB RAM installed, however my unit had an extra 16GB RAM added after it left the shop.

it should be able to be upgraded, also that review says it takes DDR5
