Which ASUS without soldered RAM

Hello,
I need to replace my ASUS laptop which is 13 years old and obsolete (yes, it's beautiful, the next one definitely won't last that long :-)).
After a long search and not being very knowledgeable in this area, I have settled on an ASUS 15" OLED, Intel i5, 8 GB, 512 MB SSD, Iris GPU.
Problem: The RAM is soldered to the motherboard with no possibility of upgrading.
Most laptops, including ASUS or other brands, have this feature.
Could someone guide me and indicate which brand offers non-soldered RAM?
Thank you

Hello.
To find out if the RAM is soldered or not, you can visit the Crucial website, for example:
For your Asus laptop with soldered memory see this page, it shows that there is no slot and that the RAM is not removable (non-removable).
For an MSI laptop with non-soldered memory see this page, it shows that there are two slots and that the laptop accepts 64 GB of RAM.
To find this information, you can search on the dedicated page or do a Google search by entering the exact model number of the laptop followed by Crucial, for example ASUS VivoBook Pro 15 OLED crucial.

A hello, a response, and a thank you are always appreciated.
Thank you for your response, that’s what I’m doing and it’s honestly tedious.
The idea is to find out which laptops DO NOT have soldered memory because the majority do, and it’s very time-consuming to check whether the memory is soldered or not for each model.
Is there a site or anything that has a comprehensive list of laptops with and without soldered memory, across all brands?
Get an MSI laptop; they don't solder the RAM sticks and are of very good quality, see this page crucial result see this page.
