Pretty good deal on a laptop great for general productivity and web browsing, even a bit of very light gaming and photo editing which won't put much load on the laptop coz of the discrete GPU. Laptops at this price don't even have a discrete GPU to begin with.

Powerful processor and solid build quality. Screen is really good too, 300-nits 100% sRGB anti-glare, which is hard to get at this price point. Really good port selection. Great battery life. Faster 8GB LPDDR4x, sadly soldered.

Be warned though, this runs warm-hot coz of the MX450.

I'm fairly sure this one has a 250 nit screen, unless they changed mid-production cycle. It was the prior yr model with an mx350 and 300 nit screen

I have this 2020 version with ryzen 5 4500u. Very nice thin and light with tiny bezels and the colors are very nice with 300 or 350 nits but beware this thing does get hot easily and i dont even game on it. The 8gb ram with 2gb graphics card ram is enough for most people. The 2021 model they updated with USB C power delivery and lowered the brightness to 250 nits. I believe mine is 2.6lb and 2021 model is 2.9lb.

Not ideal, but the fact that it has dedicated graphics that isn't sharing the RAM helps somewhat. A lot of laptops in this range have even less usable RAM than the 8gb installed because of the split. I'd say 8gb on this laptop will get you by for most tasks a laptop like this would be used for the foreseeable future.

I don't know anything about computers, but if I'm just looking for a good machine for streaming 4k media mostly to TV, this would be a great option?

Just curious - what resolution were you expecting at his price? I take it you probably wanted it stated in the title to make it easier.

I have mixed feelings about the raised hinge. How good or bad is it, especially when using on the lap? Does it make a difference at all?

Otherwise, ZenBook series has been excellent mostly. Still rocking a 5yr old ZenBook (7th Gen i7 with 940MX 2GB, 512/16). Awesome build quality and durability. Glad they give regular HDMI instead of the micro that I have in mine. Highly recommend.

As you mentioned, too bad, memory is capped at 8GB. I wish they have a 16GB / 256GB so we can upgrade the SSD later if necessary, for a slightly higher price. However, with dedicated graphics memory, 8GB hopefully should be sufficient for Win 10/11.
