Good price and combine with 12% cashback from Shopback to bring this down to around $950 which would make this cheapest so far I guess.

It comes with 1 stock of RAM populated and 1 slot empty, so if you want to go to 16GB you only need to buy a single 8GB stick of RAM.
I went to 32GB recently and the best price I found was actually AmazonAU imported from AmazonUS after cashback. Paid AUD345 before cashback, looks like it's $10 cheaper now.

How is the Graphics card, can we upgrade to a higher configuration.
Gfx is not upgradable, and RX550n is mediocre — especially when it's thermo throttled (which happens on Ex80 models). Still better than the Intel IGA & Vega 10 in E585 though.
I may have to miss this, was looking for good graphics.
I did buy one of these but returned it. The cooling is poor on this powerful laptop that causes a lot of thermal throttling under load. Even some fan noise on lower loads like browsing which is very audible. It only has a single fan to cool the CPU and GPU which I feel is very inadequate. I guess this is a problem with many modern slim laptops nowadays
