Be aware of the ASUS warranty, recently exposed by GN: https://youtu.be/7pMrssIrKcY

It is an excellent price for the specs, but personally, I will not buy any ASUS laptops before they make any changes.
I started the post, then had to do some actual work. I went back and posted it without seeing your edit, probably because I'm juggling three computers in different rooms. I'll let this go, but I do have to say I find it funny that were both such a jerk in the pre-edit post, and also thankful about the info I posted that you asked for in the other thread.

I don't understand the content perfection you're seeking here in the SD forums. If someone's post is useful, say thanks or rep or just move on. If someone's post doesn't stroke you in just the right way, also just move on. We're a community. People are trying, for the most part (scammers and spammers trying sell/affiliate their crap are another matter), to help and get help. It's all a give and take.

Have a nice day.
I have some ASUS products from 2021 that have "issues" but are functional and basically their warranty process was unless it's catastrophic failure they refused to do anything about it. And from what I hear is ASUS quality in the last 1-2 years has worsened…. And their warranty center is ran by, only way I can describe it, sounds like the typical scam call center you hear about in India. Yikes

Great laptop for the price. Even better at the $672 open box (excellent) price.

Been lurking for a laptop for a college student for quite a while, and this checked all the boxes. I'm in! Thanks!

Anybody know how easy it is to replace the battery... when the time comes?

Anyone want to give me a compare/contrast against the $420 i7-1755 Acer Swift Go 14 on Amazon last week. It looks like this one is OLED, 1GB vs 512 SSD and not as good as proc/graphics. Anything else I'm missing? Worth the extra $435 (assuming I'd grab the open box excellent)?

Usage would be office stuff, maybe some very light photo/video editing, plus web browsing and media playback. No gaming. The difference in price is in the budget, but saving $200+ if I can is always slick. The Acer arrived over the weekend but I haven't set it up/messed with it yet.

I just replaced the battery yesterday in a Zenbook 14 with the 5500u and MX-450. Quite simple, T5(?) screwdriver and a cross screwdriver along with a guitar pick. 10 minutes at most. Just don't rush anything.

I could only find it from laptopbatterydirect in my model (Q408UG) but it was relatively cheap. That was the biggest hurdle was finding a place that carried it. OEM battery lasted 3 years while always being at 100%. ASUS app can set to 60, 80 or 100%.

For regular office work both are equal, for vide editing the asus will have better performance with the better GPU.

This version of the Acer from that thread IS a touchscreen (it's right here in front of me).

Thanks. That's about what I figured. The editing I'm doing is like compiling small phone videos into a larger video. For my use case, probably not worth the extra coin.
Repped!

It was $455, not $420. Perhaps you got some existing credit, but it doesn't make it $420 (because you could use it for something else). But even if you got it for $420, the difference vs open box excellence (assuming you can get it for 672 as posted) is $252, not $435.
You have the laptop sitting in front of you, and you are asking other people to compare it????

I will give you my perspective on your Acer laptop which I DON'T have in front of me (yet). I have been looking at 13-14 inch laptops for over a year because I haven't been desperate for one yet to settle for anything. I have not seen a 14 inch laptop that has 16:10 350+nits touchscreen, 16gb, backlit keyboard, usb-c charging, 13th gen processor, all metal build, less than 2.9 lbs for under $500. If some of those things are not important to you, then fine. If there are things it is lacking that you need, then only you would know that. If it is sitting in front of you and you don't like something about it, let us know (not the other way around). Otherwise, enjoy your short-lived fabulous deal you got in on.

It's funny how when the AMD version of this laptop was posted for $630 over the holidays, it received a bunch of complaints about the blurry text on the OLED screen, and ever since none of the posts of this line of laptop has ever mentioned it again. Was that a ploy to get people to not buy it over the holidays (which is by far the best deal of this laptop regardless of CPU)?

Whoa, someone is crabby. If you were one of my teens I'd recommend a sandwich or a nap (or you know, just scrolling past posts you don't like).

Yes, sorry. I was trying to do this from memory AND also made a typo/inverted a number. The Acer was $502.08 with tax. The Asus at Best Buy open box excellent is $741.54. For a difference of $239.46 or $240. Which I inverted to 420, probably because I was thinking about having a gummy.

Addressed above. Typo. But, I mean, who WOULDN'T rather think about 420 than 240?

I have the Acer in hand, not the ASUS. The ASUS would have to be shipped and my local BB doesn't even have a demo to check out. So I was asking if anyone could compare the two or tell me about the Asus, especially since I don't have any experience with the (newish) Core Ultra. I was looking for people's knowledge about an item I didn't have in hand, which is basically the content of half the posts on SD.

For example, here's one from Saturday from a character named superslickz They've got all sorts of questions about a computer and are hoping someone has info.

Thanks for the input. So what do you estimate battery life is? Is there a backlit keyboard? How is the screen?

Appreciate the info. My last ASUS was back in windows 8 era and build quality was great and CS/Warranty was decent. Sad they've gone in that direction but am glad I now know about it. Repped!

Must have taken you a long time to come up with a response. I had edited my post well before you posted the reply. But my point stands. You have already laid out the main differences between the 2 laptops. Only you would know if the price difference is worth it. BTW thanks for the mini review in the acer post.
