This should be a better version of the laptop I have (not sure what brightness the screen on mine is rated for, but its a bit dim for use outside, however this claiming 500nits should be better if it actually lives up to that). I like it quite a bit, and this version should help with the largest weakness, which is the battery life. It is a thin and light with dGPU so not super surprising, but still.
I bought it hoping they'd release some newer more reasonable eGPU (or prices would drop making it more palatable at least), but they basically went the opposite direction, and coupled with the ones they do offer being the mobile versions of the GPUs, plus some overhead or something that saps a bit more power, just isn't worth it.
I definitely would have preferred 2 USB 4 (or TB4) USB-C and 2 USB A ports over their proprietary connector (which seems to be far from perfect for supporting the eGPU with some failures and just some clunkiness - reports of having to restart laptop to get it to recognize the connection).
Please be aware that this is a Windows + vendor-implementation issue, LTT made a video about it, even my work laptop, which is mass produced for office environment, has the same sleep issues.Only hibernate works fine in this X13.
There was this case where I shutdown the X13, left it inside my backpack, and it did that new crazy sleep-shutdown hybrid thing where it wakes up and does some activities, and it was cooking itself inside my backpack.
To fix that, when shutting down, I run a bat in my desktop with this text string in it:
shutdown /s /f /t 0
This fully shutdowns the computer, hasn't given my any issues at all, I do this with my work laptop too which has cooked itself to death multiple times due to the exact same reason.
If you are comfortable with these workarounds, switching sleep to hibernate in the power control plan, and running a .bat file to shut it down, you are going to be happy with it if it is your only nitpick.
I have the 2021 version and the 100w charger is plenty. I have other complaints but the charger is definitely not one of them.

I'd say medium productivity with 50% screen brightness, which is what I've done, 3* hrs will be no problem, that's my use case.

also, the egpu prices DID drop. the 3080 16gb went down to $1199 and the rx 6850m went down to $999 on asus's site a month or two ago. considering it's a 16gb 3080, which has a nearly doubled cost per unit from nvidia for some reason, it's not a bad deal at all, considering how much additional functionality the dock provides.
this laptop is a great deal with the dock if you are space constrained, travel a lot, need a portable, need wacom cintiq drawing functionality, need power for 3d work, etc. if you're just looking for an ultrabook convertible with pen support, moderate gaming chops, the x13 isnt a bad buy on sale at under $1200, at $850 this is a steal.

One is new 850 and the other is openbox (satisfactory) 880. any feedback will be appreciated.
I will use it for productivity mainly. Not interested in gaming.

good luck repasting and repadding these ultra thin laptops in six months without breaking anything. they definitely do not want the consumer doing it themselves. now that's something to complain about.
Anyway ASUS uses liquid metal on these and the G14s so the thermals are great and it lasts for years.
I'll complain about the soldered ram all day though, wish they had a cheaper version with 32gb, 16gb not enough for work.
I'm decision fatigued and ready to be nudged folks? What say you all?
