This is Inte's latest CPU architecture for Mobile platform where they have been struggling with high power consumption and poor battery life and a big change in SOC die design over Intel's 12th and 13th Gen. On top of that, they finally updated the Integrated Graphics form Xe archircture to Intel Arc, same archiecture used in their dedicated Graphics cards, resulting a huge performing boost, matching AMD's RDNA 3 based Integrated graphics. This design does not bring pure performance increase over past generation but focuses on performance/Watt and now replacing the 12th and 13th Gen P series (28W base TDP) and H45 (45W base TDP) processors.
the zenbook 14x is also in the same category for cheaper https://slickdeals.net/f/17228749-asus-zenbook-14x-14-5-2-8k-oled-touch-laptop-intel-evo-platform-i7-13700h-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-inkwell-gray-699-99?src=category
More powerful CPU, less powerful GPU, worse battery life (i presume)

ZenBook 14X is OLED is a really nice product with good performance with 13700H in CPu department. However, this Core Ultra 7 or Ultra 5 may be performing the same in this case even in CPU department beause unlike full sized laptops, in this small Thin & Light design, the CPU cannot pull that much power. If you see the review then you'll see that in a gaming laptop, i7-13700H an pull over 100W during CPU only load whereas in Zenbook 14X, it is limited to around 70W for avery small time. Since Core Ultra series is very efficient, in that power envelop, it might actually perform better.
UltraBook review site recently reviiewed the 2024 Zenbook 14 with the model you referred here and found out that tthe Meteor Lake was beating it out in PU department as well.

so please, do not spread misinformation around
Pretty good price to honest.
I'm getting older though and need a 15"-16" screen, if not 17", although this looks nice otherwise
My must-haves are a nice screen with resolution greater than FHD, good battery life (been looking at slim & light models geared towards portability), and a full keyboard with number pad (gotta have it for work or I'd lose my mind). Beyond that I'm flexible, don't need discrete graphics because I rarely play PC games anymore.
Anyone have a good suggestion? Looking for a deal obviously, this being SD. The 16" OLED Acer Swift Edge at Costco for $699 would have worked but it doesn't have the number pad. So many good 14" deals, what about those of us getting into grandparent age?

I've been hoping to find a stellar deal on something nice marked down to $700-$800, but the price isn't really that big of a deal for me, as long as I get something that will meet my needs and last a while. So I should probably just go ahead and pull the trigger. I love OLED screens but that IPS screen on that Gram should realistically be good enough, and that model checks all the boxes for me.
