This is in the Philippines I haven't seen this model listed in any other country:
Asus Vivobook 15X X1505ZA-MA060WS Indie Black- Intel Core i5-1235U Processor 1.3 GHz (10M Cache, up to 4.4 GHz, 10 cores) | 8GB DDR4 on board | 512GB M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 SSD | 15.6inch 2.8K (2880 x 1620) OLED 16:9 aspect ratio 0.2ms response time, 120Hz refresh rate | Intel UHD Graphics | Wi-Fi 6(802.11ax) (Dual band) 2*2 + Bluetooth 5.1 | Windows 11 Home
Yesterday I was informed that this model only supports Single Channel mode which means the 8GB DDR4 is soldered on the MOBO and that there is no DDR4 slot inside for a removable DDR4. Supposed to be 2023 Asus flagship series that won't support Dual Channel mode with a clock speed of 1666 MHz only, find that hard to believe as only 10-year-old $200 Chromebooks have that limitation, not 2023 $1,000 business notebooks.
I have given up fighting the retailer and Asus Philippines as there is something weird going on with that model. I will now buy the i7 equivalent for an extra $300: Asus Vivobook S15 K3502ZA-MA070WS (Dual Channel mode).
Comments welcome, I suspect that the series have not yet been formally released in the Philippines and that these are prototypes made in who knows (probably China), without any documentation.
Update 25 June
There is too much uncertainty about the i5 model, like does it have a free DDR slot to upgrade RAM and can it be charged with a USB charger (no Thunderbolt4?). So, I bought the larger model K3502ZA-MA070WS, Intel Core i7 12700H Processor, for $300 more. A beautiful W11 machine super-fast, running at 3200 MHz speed and it updated to the latest 22H2 build. Very happy with my new laptop😀
