This is only the 4th or 5th time that it's going for this price, I reckon, 2-3 of those times were in this holiday season and the other times was months ago, not "every other week".
They put it at this price coz it sells so much. Everytime this deal has at this price has made it to FP, over here. Also, the fact that it's going for this price often is a foreshadowing that it might get even $50 cheaper than this by Christmas.
Either way, you won't find a better laptop at this price. This has set the bar for new pricing. Laptops have crashed in price through 2023, finally.

I don't understand your second point. If $699 will sale well then why not just keep it at that price point? People will continue to buy then? Right?
Also not saying it a bad laptop. But at some point you just have to wonder why. Also not trying to start anything. If someone wants to come out say just say this is a "market thing and that's how you get people to buy things" I'm fine with that too. But there is no point arguing about oh it's not every other week it's a month ago and such. Let's just put it this way it's on front page often enough that I don't feel $699 is a new deal anymore.

Wasn't looking for a laptop with a gpu. I own this laptop and it's great for its intended use out in the field.
I use a black background and dark mode browser, and use it to study stuff with Anki.
The one cool niche thing for me is that it works with both of my portable laptop power banks, while some of my laptops with GPUs don't work with one of the power banks I had bought way back. So, add on an extra pound to your baggage and double your battery life pretty much.
16GB is a bummer but the only Zenbook-like laptop I saw with the 120hz OLED and 32GB is the larger 15.6" model and the cost is like... $300-500 more. The ones that have GPUs are even higher closer to the $1200-1500 range. I'll probably use this for light work and even put Linux on it later.
The OLED 120hz is great to have. Touch-screen is a nice bonus too.
The CPU is great and it runs cool so far which is surprising. I guess that's the benefit of not having a GPU in it.
It's not as light as I thought it would be but lighter than my other machines.
