I'm interesting in the following laptop, the cheaper variant.

ASUS Zenbook S 16 (UM5606) - Tech Specs｜Laptops For Home｜ASUS USA

Experience next-gen computing with ASUS Zenbook S 16: ultra-slim design, 3K OLED display, and powerful AMD Ryzen AI processor for unmatched AI capabilities.

www.asus.com

It comes with 24GB of soldered ram, which I'm assuming is 8+16. I'm guessing it will run in flex mode so it's dual channel for the first 16GB and then single channel for the rest? Has anyone used a laptop in this mode, does it cause problems?

It's LPDDR5 and 12GB chips exist so it could be 12+12 (it most likely is, what I'm thinking).

How much is the price difference between 24 and 32GB SKUs? That 24GB will become an issue sooner than the 32GB unless your usage doesn't regularly max out the available RAM.

I don't see why it would? What kind of "problem" do you envision?

I have 24gb of ram in my current laptop and I have not experienced any issues with it.

8GB in single channel is still faster than an SSD.

i think the answer is No, because 24GB of RAM won't cause stability issues as long as the modules are compatible with your motherboard and run at the same speed.
