It is an excellent price for the specs, but personally, I will not buy any ASUS laptops before they make any changes.
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.

Never mind I see you answered that already. Both ours are higher than 1080p though.
I have to say the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon on the Mac was pretty seamless with Rosetta working pretty well. Hopefully Microsoft can do as well.
Pros:
1) very premiumslick outlook. the quality is IMO on par with a mac.I just enjoy the allumimium build up.
2) the screen is outstanding. Once you get to use OLED, it is hard to go back
3) Quiet most of time for regular day to day taks.
4) The GPU cores are real. I can play video games that cannot be played on previous geneneration of CPUs. Intel Core ultra 7 nailed it
Cons:
1) laptop can be really hot under heavy load and fan noise is very noticable. To kick off, simply run cinebench 2024
2) This laptop seems doing some optimization in the background. I could not get the CPU scores as advertised on the web. Maybe 80%. I used CPU-Z and cinebench 2024. For single core, cinebech 2024, I got 82. Multi core: 495(way below that I was thinking it should be considering 22 threads). For CPU-Z, multi core I only get achieve 4700 compared to what is supposed to be 8000
3) Wifi is weak compared to my 2 year old thinkpad t14. I did a little bit tuning, it is getting better. But still 30% slower when you are 20 feet away from your rounter with walls than my t14's wifi.
4) the screen color gets some green cast that I dont like. Fortunately, I used calibrate display color feature to lower the green and some of red. Now it is a perfect color to my likeing.
5) I wish the USB-C ports be placed on the left so that I can use a mouse more freely.

If you look very close, probably there is a tiny bit. but it does not bother me.
Battery life:
I am from previous generation of windows laptop. So this is way better than before. I guess this is a case by case. There are a bounch of youtube videos on this laptop. None of them complaining about the battery life. I think this is all because of the new Intel CPU.
All in all this is a keeper. Really love using it.
Not arguing your experience, but adding to why people may have a differing experience:
OLED screens can cause your battery life to vary wildly based on brightness and content. LCD screens offer a more stable, significantly lower power usage, especially at brighter settings. So standard benchmarks from reputable groups, such as anandtech, which did gain around 15hr, could have a different brightness setting that you're not comfortable with.
Plex also can be difficult to gauge, using the plex app could trigger Metadata crawl vs using the web app, or many other plex factors...
The macbook hardware is more efficient, absolutely. But for most people, who are consuming video content almost explicitly from web browsers (or browser based apps like Hulu, etc) at a indoor comfortable brightness setting (dim), most people should see competitive battery life.

In 2020 I bought two UM425IA zenbooks, one for me and one for my wife.
Hers ran very slow.
It had a defective heat pipe, and the CPU would thermally throttle.
If you want to keep yours, I would get your favorite hardware monitor software and validate thermal readings.
If it's running high, then you may have a similar issue.
Otherwise, it could be a electronic fault on the motherboard (bad capacitor or something on the voltage rail) that is preventing the clock multiplier from functioning
I'm resetting it back to default (which is, unfortunately, taking forever) and then bring it back to Best Buy, while sucking it up and paying the extra $120+ to get a new one... hopefully the new one is not a lemon! ^_^
