- 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?

I wonder if it's possible to reduce the brightness when running programs coded in DOS such as memtest? I tried using the program to test the ram but didn't want to let it runing continuously as required since the screen would remain in a largely static image for several hours and was concerned about burn in.

***Update Can also confirm, that the Patriot ram works.

Already blew through a bunch on G2 deal and HF trailer; after a sudden car service repair.
Gotta draw the line. Holidays got my itch to press buy now hard to stop.

I upgraded the memory to 16 shortly after purchasing it and don't know if that's the issue or if it's Windows. I'm using Air Parrot 3 🦜 to cast to Apple TV. That's the only software thing I can think of. Occasionally Windows freezes up as I move my mouse across the screen. Everything gets distorted and I have to hard reboot to fix the issue.
I've stopped using more than 2 split alternate image windows. Whatever they're called. I also try not to Alt Tab too much as that causes a hiccup it seems.
Everything is fine but the occasional Windows crash. All the fingerprints are annoying on the surfaces of everything on it.
