I contacted Asus as to what to do, and all they could do was tell me to reboot, and hold the power button down, etc. Nothing worked. Then they quoted me like $800 to fix it as 'the motherboard must be bad'. I went on Ebay, found the exact same BIOS chip programmed from a third party. Purchased one of the BIOS readers on Amazon after reading that you can program it as long as you don't have power to the motherboard. I read the chip from the third party vendor, and flashed the bios chip in the laptop to a very old BIOS. Fired right up.
They continue to have that BIOS on Windows update. If an unsuspecting consumer who upgraded a pretty useless drive on a $1600 laptop updates it, they may brick their machine. Even after explaining all of this to Asus and doing the process over the phone with them, they failed to assist at all. They deliberately have a BIOS version out on Windows update that has the potential of bricking the laptop. I will never buy another Asus product.
Laptop still runs fine if I ignore their 'recommended' update. Planned obsolescence. Such a dirty practice.

Also, pretty dirty of them to put starfield in the thumbnail like this laptop would get anywhere near that.
unless this comes with an RTX card, I have no idea why anyone would want this
You won't notice a difference in performance. All three are about on par and very fast.
You might notice a difference in battery life.
Ive been using thinkpads since forever. On a X1 Carbon Gen 9 now.
The only other laptop ive considered was a G14 - really like the size, weight and quality.
How does this compare?
Integrated graphics are fine for me.
I think i posted on the previous threads on this laptop when it was on sale that my only gripes on this laptop is mostly software related and that it weirdly boots into the bios on its own sometimes and sometimes (probably a windows thing) the search bar doesnt work. It is also slow to connect to wifi when booted into windows. Most laptops i have have instant internet connections once in windows, this one however i have to wait a min before browsing.
