- Backlit chicklet keyboard
- Barrel connector charging
- Memory seems soldered in, but has 1 additional available slot
This chip is faster than the 12th gen i5, but slower than the 13th gen, while being better on power. I really wish this had USB C charging.
RAM: ASUS official page even says 1 available SDRAM slot. Maybe it's on the hidden side of the mainboard. I've come across that design a couple of times in the past.
HDMI: 1.4 is a bit disappointing, but if you're not light gaming, you won't hit this wall.
Weight: 3.7 lbs,... just a tad heavy, but not
Display: ...and 600 nits OLED?! <drool... .> on-battery duration will suffer but imho, well worth the trade-off.
Ports: 3.1 is insufferable if accustomed to 3.2 or faster. However, in my experience, substantial dependency on attached storage is not typical use.
CPU & Storage: both reasonably snappy. Combine with 16GB, you're good for 3+ years easy for typical use.
Charge Method: Imho, the barrel connector charge is just not that big of a liability given this price-for-performance. That's what we're accustomed to anyway.
All that said, I remain baffled: why so little love?

No gaming, college usage here. Seems like big price difference for the trade-offs? Any thoughts

Oled can hurt if you leave ur PC on 'accidently' and don't setup screensaver or have an issue will burn in over time. If you are one to not be very aware and leave ur pc plugged in and left on all the time with no screensaver (even windows sometimes freezes) laptop OLED may not be for you since burn in is one way trip.
However this OLED is brighter and radeon GPU is better if you take care of your things and are less busy i.e. can close your laptop if you aren't using it. Personally I'd go for this one and not have to worry too much if something goes wrong since its so low cost but amazing features (I'm sure both aren't amazing quality in this price range i.e. little or no metal or mediocre trackpads - something is always less premium). 14" is significantly better for moving around school, couch or bed use, etc though.
