A few important things regarding this year's ZenBook 14 vs the 14X from last year, and 14 from 2022:
When the last year's model released, the discounted price started from $599-649 not $549 as this one.
Compared to the last year's model this is more compact and portable with a 14" footprint vs the 14.5" in the former, and similar to the 2022 one. This makes it significantly lighter than both as well.
However, the display has been downgraded from 2.8K 120Hz and 90Hz (2022) to FHD+ (1200p) 60Hz. The battery size has been increased from 70 Whr to 75 Whr.
What all this translates to is significantly more battery time due to reduced resolution and refresh rate, increased battery size, and also better thermals.
On a 14", FHD+ OLED is sharp and good enough and anything above, while good to have, would be more or less, an overkill.

The soldered 8GB RAM would again be a point for many to cry on, and while it would be justifiably a deal breaker for them, for the majority light/home users for productivity and media consumption, this would be perfectly enough.
Open box - excellent at $480, very good price for a budget laptop with an amazing screen.

p.s. @Dr.Wajahat - thank you for posting all the great laptop deals!
Nope! Soldered

Last year, I got a Lenovo slim 3i with 8 GB soldered ram and thought it would be enough. For most parts it is - however, I am clearly seeing why people cry about the lack of upgrades. A lot of apps these days are memory hogs alongside Windows own services which can be clawing against other apps for your RAM and that is when i started experiencing lag with not that many apps Smilie

My current Zenbook with 2.8k 120hz screen is too good, there's no way going backwards.

Is it possible for me to never be able to see any laptop deals with 8gb or less?

Ain't gonna argue the deal, but 8gb ram for Windows is simply barely enough for everything except pure web surfing, just dont have too many tabs open, And occasional office doc. Microsoft is improving their programs becoming more intensive, this should not be offered.

Not to mention Qualcomm Elite debut in few months. PC deals will be on fire this year folks. Like never before, it's a buyers market.

You will see 16gb sales darn close to this, maybe not as elegant packaged as this laptop. Id argue, if 8gb ram is enough for you, just get a monitor for you mobile device or entry level iPad or tablet.
