That title is sus... Lol.

That said, I'm going to assume soldered ram because it's thin like a piece of paper, and this thing is going to be so dated by the time you purchase it, who would use this anyway, a traveling photographer? Is that even ok?
Do your comments still stand if I can score this for $370? I have a lot of open boxes near me. considering the purchase.

Lord no, I need a machine that runs adobe for my photography. I mean lightroom, not even Photoshop, needs way more than this thing.

If it didn't have silver keys I'd bite on the open box for $370.

I have a 2 year old zenbook with the mx350. It has overheating problems if you game with it for more than an hour that can cause unexpected shutdowns. But it runs photoshop perfectly fine.

Can someone go over the pros and cons and the other Zenbook that I purchased for $500?

I use Lightroom 5, seems to use about 6GB total if I open it up and fiddle around.

I think the OLED Zenbook with 12gen was a better deal at $500, I bought that one. I haven't tried Lightroom on it.

At $370 open box it's pretty sweet.

I have the same model, the screen is a thing of beauty. That by itself is why it's better.

The MX450 is probably a little better than Intel Xe, but I'd be concerned about heat.

THE GOOD

improved build quality and ergonomics over the previous generation
OLED or IPS screen options, now with 180 angle
good inputs and IO
balanced performance; way faster than before in CPU demanding loads
75 Wh battery, but only average runtimes
still competitively priced in its class

THE BAD

fair bit heavier than previous generation
most of the IO is on the right side now
noisy on the Performance mode
only average runtimes with the Intel Core P specs

I returned it. For a $100 more, Costco has an Acer with 16gb ddr5 ram and 512gb m2. No OLED though. Went with this.

The zen book's 8gb ram filled up pretty much immediately. Tough to use it for anything beyond homework or browsing recipes. Was very tough to let go of that OLED 😑

IMO Acer was much better value due to the reasons stated above as well as 2+2 Costco warranty.
