This is definitely an amazing value, but long term dependability, reliability, and durability still concerns me a bit. Its amazing how people shell out more than twice this price for a 14" MacBook Pro. However, I hear warranty support for ASUS products is subpar.
I tried to switch to Asus with these new OLED screens from MBA M1, the first laptop I received had internal damage out of the box. Ended up buying MBP 14 M1 Pro instead

Our Zenbook 14 OLED died in 9 months and Best Buy who handles ASUS warranties if you buy it there, replaced it even though the case was starting to split. If they were a-holes they could have denied it, but there was no evident drop damage.

The person behind the Geek Squad counter makes the decision about warranty claims I think. So odds are good.
Haven't tried the replacement yet.

Pretty great specs for the price. Appears to be a nice machine. Shame the RAM isn't upgradable but at least the SSD is. Can't complain for $800 though, strong value with that 120hz OLED.

Well, if you don't want to shell more than $300 on a Windows laptop, then also don't try to cryout loud abhout how awful the trackpad is, or the display is, how great the MacBook are.

If you have never heard of ThinkPads, Precisions, Latitudes, Galaxy Book Pros, then I would consider your lack of know-how is either due to ignorance or arrogance.

And yes, even Acer Aspire series are rock solid.

Just picked this up to replace my wife's 2016 Asus Zenbook, really nice screen. Only thing is upgrading the SSD to a 2TB model. Fan noise isnt bad, but it was kicking on during the install/update process. Very solid feel/build and love the 14.5" screen size. Due to the smaller screen bezel, the computer is the same size as the 2016 Zenbook with a 13.3" screen.
I am sure, once all the updates are done, the frequency of fan noise would come down.

Comparing this deal with a refurbished Lenovo Slim 7i Pro X for $799 16gb 6800HS [ebay.com] or the $899 32gb AMD 6900HS processor [ebay.com] on eBay. Isn't OLED screen burn-in a concern? Which one is the better deal?

I don't mind the certified refurbished since I had a positive experience with eBay's 2-year Allstate warranty.
Don't go with a Refurbished for such a huge price, specially when its Lenovo's Slim series. They have been plagued with screen hinge issues. Would be riskier even when new Smilie

Unless I missed a comparable option it's hard to pass up on the Lenovo 7 Pro X (2022) specs at that price point so I'll take the risk with the 2 years warranty. Not to mention the reviews have been mostly positive
