Typing this review on this laptop right now. I had a 14 from Walmart as a comparison as well.

By itself, the 14X is the best deal for a thin and light with OLED and touch right now IMO. I use it for school and media consumption. With 1440p netflix streaming at 80% brightness the battery goes down to 4-5 hours. I find that the sweet spot is 1440p at 60% brightness, I get 7 hours with this. The trick with the high performing H-series intel CPU is to always keep it running in power efficiency mode and keep the fan off. I never run into any performance issues running multiple (10+) windows and tabs, mostly office apps and firefox, as well as youtube in the background. With that kind of usage I get anywhere from 5-8 hrs a day, depending on the workload. I can usually get another hour if I turn off 120Hz and use 60Hz instead.

It is a joy to use. The screen is the biggest strength, but the keyboard, speaker and large trackpad are great too. Unlike some others I actually really like the integrated numpad, I don't accidentally turn it on and it's good for when I need it. I don't do excel daily though, so I can't say for sure if it replaces a real numpad.

Compared to the 14 from Walmart that has AMD: this 14X is probably the worse option, IF you don't care for face ID. Screen size difference is negligible, and (max) performance feels about the same. However the battery life on the 14 is a lot better, as I can run the other machine at 90Hz and faster performance, brighter screen, for slightly longer battery life. I reckon if I used the 14 as conservatively as the 14X I could push 10 hours easily. That said, face ID on the 14X is very convenient and the 14 only has fingerprint ID.

That said, the 14X battery life isn't too bad. It's actually very impressive for an H-series thin and light and like I said, if you treat it like a U-series then you get better performance than an actual U, with the best battery life.

In short, if you like battery life and fingerprint ID, go with the 14 AMD. If you need face ID and don't mind a worse battery life, go with the 14X. Either way for less than $700, you can't go wrong with either options and it's hard to find an OLED screen in a better package in this price range. Heck I think this outright beats some of the $1300+ options out there from players like Dell, HP and Lenovo.

This is an excellent laptop for the price. I'm still holding out for the 14 flip to go on sale. I currently have a Galaxy book 3 360. After using that I can't go back to a non flip non OLED laptop. Flip is the way to go, so much more portable and convenient for media consumption.

What's the battery life like—can it extend to 8 hours @ 60hz (basic web surfing?)

Pretty sure this is the same one I bought 2 months ago at this price. Great machine. Only thing though is the num pad in the track pad is a joke. I disabled it because it kept turning on when I didn't want it to.

If you need a machine with a num pad built in get one with a real number pad. I don't do this is still a great machine for my use.

I bought the Walmart Zenbook 14 last week. For comparison purposes I just ordered an open box excellent for $628.

I am trying to see how good the facial recognition is and the battery life on the Zenbook 14x compared to the Zenbook 14.

I did the same. Would be interested in your result. What's your plan about the warranty on the open box Zenbook? We only get whatever's left on the original warranty from ASUS, right?

Trust me, you won't notice the grainy screen unless you go looking for it. It's a non issue.

Nice that this has TB4, but even then eGPU performance will suffer. Put an Oculink port on this laptop and it would be incredible.
