This is actually pretty good deal for a unit that rarely goes on sale. Its a really good stealthy gaming laptop. High wattage and beefy cooling system. Unfortunately this is not the coveted OLED model. If you want powerful desktop grade cpu performance with some gaming chops in a relatively light and thin package, this is hard to beat.

I just got my open box excellent ASUS Zephyrus M16 delivered today from the Best Buy deal. This one has a better processor and an Ethernet port. It seems like this is the better machine. Is this correct?

There is an empty slot so you can add a 16GB stick to get 32GB in dual channel.

I had the OLED model of this. Gaming performance was surprisingly good and fan noise wasn't too bad. I didn't like the poor battery life, surface material finger print magnet, and the body feels kinda cheap

This is YMMV for sure, but I got Best Buy to price match this for this deal to their OLED model.

At quick glance this has a much better processor, 13900H vs 13980HX and a better video card 4060 vs 4070. Don't know if you'd need the jump up in processing power. The one at Microcenter does not have an OLED screen. I am sure there's more as well.
