Price at the warehouse is $699, so you can save the $15 shipping if you go to store. Seems like a pretty strong set of features for the price.

Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). Source[/URL]]
You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

Tag showed $600 for new in the box, or $500 for the demo model.
Grabbed a new unit, and proceeded out the door.
Ordered a new WDBlack, NVMe850NX installed and pumping 6908 Read, 6353 Write for $107 on Amazon.
Ordered 32 Gb GSkill memory for $67, and will install on arrival. Making a total of 40Gb. š¤£
Hard to beat this little form factor for what it does, and cannot duplicate at this price point.
Update- it was very difficult to install 10, difficulty finding drivers. So went back to 11.
I think you should create 3 power profiles. Performance would have it unlocked at 0MHz, Balance should have it at 4000/3000 MHz, and Battery Saving should have it at 3200/2400 MHz.
Is there something else I need to do?

However, after one of the firmware updates to Intel Management Engine (not an ASUS), while the settings won't reset, the setting is not respected by the system. I think Intel has really been messing things up.
My workaround so far is to use ThrottleStop (third party software) to override the power limits to something like 15/21W for my U series processor. For an H processor you probably want the limits to be 28W/35W or something like that, but feel free to play with the power limits. If you don't want to use third party software, you can approximate it with ASUS's OEM software and set it to power savings / cool and quiet power mode, and the power limits should be lower.
For this generation, AMD is really the much better choice.
Is there something else I need to do?
Whenever I connect the laptop to bluetooth headhphone (with mic) and try to record sound in any app (teams, edge, sound recorder), the laptop hangs for few seconds and then it crashes. Yes. Crashes with DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE error. Tried updating all the drivers and bios with same issue.
Has anyone else seeing this on their laptop? Could it be a hardware issue with my laptop?
Anyone else having this?
