Considering this has been way cheaper before and Zenbook 14X with i7-13700 has been $699 numerous of times, this is not a good deal at all.

It's probably an SD member selling it after buying it for 630 lol.

I got this laptop for wife when it was 630, i notice the grain almost every time, wife doesn't.
I still haven't told her why I ask everytime if the screen is fine when she's on a white background lol

I turned the touchscreen off on the Zenbook in Control Panel under Devices and it made no difference in the presence of the digitizer.
The build on the Zenbook is better, but only slightly. The keyboard and trackpad are better on the Zenbook, but again only slightly. The HP has the useless row of keys down the right side, but it's not horrible. It just makes the keyboard off center of the trackpad and causes your right hand to end up over the trackpad more when typing. It can cause the cursor to move unintentionally. The silver HP looks great not matter how much you touch or handle it. The black Zenbook is a finger print and smudge magnet and looked awful after 20 minutes of using it.
The Zenbook has some appealing battery and screen care software. It has a setting to only charge the battery to 80% to improve the life of the battery. The screen software has pixel shifting to prevent burn in and you can choose different color profiles. HP doesn't have any of those offerings.
I have yet to hear the fans on the HP and it never gets even slightly warm. Same tasks on Zenbook, surfing the web or watchin videos, fans are on and it's warm to the touch. If you choose "whisper" setting on the Zenbook for fans, the chassis gets warmer.
Overall, the minor inconveniences of the keyboard and slight difference in build quality on the HP were easier to overcome than the screen quality, fan noise, heat, and fingerprints/smudges on the Zenbook.
