Still 8GB ram is more than enough for many people and specially that beautiful 90hz OLED.
Same 8+256, but a 12th Gen i5

Same 8+256, but a 12th Gen i5
Better build quality since it's a Zenbook. Faster DDR5 RAM, although at just 8GB of RAM it won't exhibit its full potential. A better and more efficient processor. Bigger batter. HDMI 2.0 vs 1.4b on this.
That being said, the people who'd buy that won't really take advantage of all that power and glory. At 8GB RAM and no dGPU you won't be gaming much nor would you be doing much creative work, the iGPU is exactly the same in both of these laptops. The 12th Gen i5 combined with a 75Whr battery vs 11th Gen i5 with a 63Whr yields almost similar battery times, 5-6 hours, which is worse for the 12th Gen i5 since it's supposed to be more efficient esp considering it runs at a lower wattage than 11300H over here. Regardless, the performance would be noticeably better, not day and night significant, but enough to be noticed; 15% better to be precise with that specific Zenbook.
However, that laptop is out of stock now.

I do wish it has more RAM, but I mostly do office work.
I have a Thunderbolt eGPU (2080) which works fine for Master Chief Collection and older games. For the iGPU there really isn't enough RAM to play modern games, since it uses part of the 8GB system RAM.
However, the Zenbook for $500 from Best buy was a much better buy but I didn't see it in time. Although it seems like it has heat/power consumption issues as mentioned in this thread and its own thread.
I'm getting about 5-8 hours usage on this with high brightness and no power saving, so I'm pretty happy
Charges via a barrel plug and USB-C PD through the Thunderbolt 4 connector. I do wish it has 2 Thunderbolt ports like the Zenbook.
Also, mine does NOT have a fingerprint sensor, even though it was advertised as such (and its support page has the driver for it). Not sure why there are different versions for this.
These laptops are not designed to last or be fixed. This is not an apple thread, but we have apple to blame for most phone/laptops/etc being disposable today. Greed is all it is and apple fights every right-to-repair bill it can.
I've recently talked to repair people and most laptops *may* last up to 5 or 6 years, but then they're junk. The shop was full of laptops (all manufacturers, several were only 1-2 years old) that were in for major repair issues.
Time we stop buying things that are designed to be manufactured and then thrown away.
