I've been looking for a good laptop with a color accurate display for photo and video work and this seems to fit the Bill. I went to the store to check it out and the screen is really incredible. The color accuracy compared favorably to my iPhone 12 Pro that I held up next to it. Slightly more cool. At least in the store it ran pretty cool and quiet. This is also compatible with a pen since it has 4096 points of pressure sensitivity.

Some of the downsides are that the build quality seems okay. There is a bit of flex in the keyboard. Also it's pretty awkward to have the keys and touchpad behind the screen when using it in tablet mode. But that's common with all 2 in 1s. The processor, even though is an 11th gen Tiger Lake processor with 10 nm tech is pretty anemic with only 4 cores and 8 threads. It scores about 10,000 bench Mark score here

Well-equipped but has a very outdated feel to it in build. Lots of compromises on the keyboard. Has very little to do with the typical Zenbook line. Seems more like marketing.

This would be a good deal at around $1000 even with the 4k display. I wouldn't worry about CPU power. ASUS tend to have heat issues with higher powered CPUs and/or loud fans.

Too heavy to lug around a lot perhaps from home to office and back once a day.

I have this concern as well. That's why I am taking a look at yoga c940.

I have been eyeing this laptop as well. Really want to get a laptop with 4K resolution , since I do some photo editing and in general really like the display on 4K compared to FHD screens in the store. And very few options for 15.6 inch screen at a good price. The HP spectre and Dell inspiron are a few 100 dollars more. Anybody have have recommendations for a 4K laptop if not this one?
