11th gen is a minus, i7 is a plus (it still performs just under the i5-1235u, the bottom line 12th gen i5), but it's worth noting that even though the battery is pretty big (63 Whrs), the 1165G7 is about 10% less efficient than the 1235u for less performance.
IPS is okay, 400 nits is a plus, 16GB is good, soldered is okay, comes with 1TB SSD is a plus, Wifi and BT are good,
IR Cam is a nice feature to have if you're into that, nanoedge display is nice-to-have (92% screen-to-body ratio), 100% sRGB is nice-to-have, 2.16 lbs is ultrabook-level light, and honestly it's probably got a metal chassis which I like to have.
I think the biggest pluses are the 2x Thunderbolt 4 with Display and PD (charging in and charging out), and the HDMI 2.1.

I'm not sure if it's worth it for me at this price point, but it's seriously worth considering, and for the features it has, is better than a lot of other i5-1235u laptops.

The problem I have with these Asus laptops is that their hinge design makes them very uncomfortable when used in the lap. The hinge makes the edge of the lid go lower than the base. This is fine when used on a desk as it just lifts the base up, but when used on your lap, the edge digs into your legs, which makes it so much less comfortable than regular hinge design laptops. I'd say if you were buying a laptop primarily to use on a desk, this is a non issue, but for me, it got really annoying on a 3lb 14" Zenbook.

Everything you said is the way I have been looking at this laptop. I did find this review that goes in depth into the build. Apparently this is the Zenbook Ultralight, which is just under a kilo or just over 2lbs. It's also a magnesium chassis and skin/outer shell.

The better build, along with the other improvements you mentioned, tip this towards a decent value.

What was battery life on the review?

Magnesium (alloy) usually means it will have a very plastic kinda cheap feel to it (like the LG Gram series). This may or may not matter to people. Is there any screen flex?

Let's put it this way - I'm still using my UX434FLC (10th gen i7, 16GB, 1TB, MX250) and it outperforms my wife's Q409ZA (12th gen i5, 8GB, 512GB, Intel Iris, OLED display). The build quality on the 10th and 11th gen Zenbooks was better than the newer ones. It's absolutely solid with zero creaks or flex. It also runs cooler and quieter than the 12th gen.

As for the i7 itself...meh. I run mine with the Turbo disabled because all it does is drain battery, generate heat, and eventually throttle itself after 30 seconds at full boost. So why bother? Especially for gaming (I know, I know...) I get better performance with the turbo turned off because it allows the MX250 to sustain its clocks.

Battery life is mediocre in all Asus laptops. My 10th gen was supposed to last up to 10hrs per charge, but I've never seen it do more than 6 hours. My wife's 12th gen is worse. They advertise 13-14hrs, but she can't get more than 5 hrs.

At $500, this will be better than a lot of $700-800 newer laptops.

Even the i3-1215U beats the i7-1165G7:

lmao i didn't realize
It's about equivalent, cpu-wise, but the i3 is more efficient but also has a much weaker iGPU
