Not sure why this was thumbs down, but I bought it.

Lowest price ever from what I can tell
I've had mine in this exact config for 2 years now. After 6 months I bought the XG Mobile card for some heavier gaming. IT.IS.AWESOME! I can take it on a flight to Europe and watch movies for 8h no problem. I can game in a hotel room, run presentations for clients and it's awesome!. I'm running it with 3 monitors total (2x23''2k@160hz + laptop). Never failed me once.

10/10 would buy again!
I was just about to post this same deal! Some of the issues I saw were 16GB RAM is soldered and not upgradeable as well asonly has 3050 Ti but pros is it's touchscreen 2 in 1 tablet and can upgrade the GPU with the ROG MX Mobile device up to a 3080 which is expensive but an option.

Using this exact link to go to the buy page shows price of 860 instead of 790ish. Going to bestbuy on your own makes the price for the exact same thing 790. Strange

How do you run those monitors with the laptop? Do you use a specific docking station, egpu or just the ports on the laptop? Docking stations seem to all cap out at 60hz for my 2k

Pretty good deal. The machine however is very bugged. Had to reset windows back to factory setting a few times to get it right. Also, the graphic card is bottleneck by the thermo. Eventually, I returned this for a G14.

That's the right choice

Quote from JohnJ2996 :
"couple years"? It's a 2022 model...

All the reviews and ppl in this thread mentioned you can watch movies from 11 to 13 hours on this thing

And as for gaming

https://youtu.be/nzK30oqVJjM

This YouTube link shows it performing really well

Please link another 13 inch Ultrabook that can handle games better

I'm not buying this Ultrabook so I can game 100% of the time. That's what my gaming desktops and laptops are for. I need the best gaming Ultrabook, and this is it until they manage to fit a 3060 level gpu in there.

As a millennial who thought a 10lb gaming laptop was portable, this thing is a miracle. I've waited two decades for something like this

Thanks for providing this link. The YouTube video shows testing at 1080p, which is not the native resolution of 1200p. Also, some of the games struggle to stay at 60 fps and that's before any thermal throttling, which will happen as this thing heats up quick. Furthermore, the latency is 20+ms, ruling out any pvp gaming.

I'm not saying this is a bad laptop. The form factor is amazing and performs well for productivity. However, its capabilities are incredibly exaggerated.

Building a PC is very different than buying this thin laptop. One is sitting on the desk while the other is for traveling, coffee shop use. Different purpose

you are 100% correct. but if you saw who i was quoting, he/she plans on connecting a monitor and keyboard and having it stationary 95% of the time. so if he/she can justify the 5% to getting this laptop then go for it. I don't think it worth getting this laptop if you plan on not using it as a portable laptop.

Quote from GeoSlickShop :
I got this as an open box from Best Buy about a year ago. I only use it for traveling and it's great for me to edit photos and play light games while still all around or under 3 pounds.

The battery life can be short if you don't put it in the eco mode.

The only negative I can really say about this laptop, and I probably would NOT have gotten it had I known, was that for the laptop to run at full speed w/ gfx, it has to be connected to their proprietary 100W charging brick.

If I connect anything else w/ PD to it, even if it's rated 130W, the laptop will only run / charge at 60W max. So if I play some light gaming like Dota 2, the laptop will still run down on the battery even when it's plugged into a non-Asus charger, although at a pretty slow rate, like 10% per hour at most.

Just a FYI

Yeah forgot to mention that too, that is the biggest deal breaker for me as well, since I have a 150w gan anker charger that I got specifically for this but I can't juice it up at 100w, Asus did an apple on this one. Funny because the zenbook flip 15 oled does charge at 100w over the anker charger but not this one. Still a great ultrabook but really bad artificial limitation.

3050 Ti is not a gaming chip. i have it running in my XPS for quite some time and while it is nice, it is not "gaming" unless you talking bout 720 mid or 1080 lows.

the 4050 chip, on the other hand, is the one to get. the new ADA Lovelace architecture is a whole lot more power efficient that at 80W, it compete with 120W 3060 and 3070.

Oh I see. Sorry, missing the quote. If it's stationary most of the time, no point to get this laptop. Yeah, get a desktop.

All depends on your use case. It does game well for its size (emphasis on size). I think people are forgetting that its a 2 in 1. A lot of digital creators need more GPU power to run Photoshop and the like smoothly. With a Windows pen this is a very competent illustration machine due to its good color accuracy and GPU. My biggest gripe is the palm rejection is quite poor. Not sure if that's a Windows thing or this laptop.

I use it as a portable gaming machine when I travel for work with an Razer Orochi and I bring my pen with me in case I want to sketch stuff. Makes a hell of a Drawful machine haha but kind of a waste cost wise for that.
