I think this is a bit high considering unless you absolutely have to have a 14", in which case HP had a Pavilion Plus OLED model with AMD 8845H and 16GB/1TB for about $750 also.

2. This has an AMD which is still more efficient than Intel
3. This only requires 65W input while the other one requires a 90W input. 65W USB type C plugs are common and compact these days, not quite so for 90W/100W.

2. If battery longevity is your priority, you wouldn't be shopping OLED in the first place. The Ultra 7 155H is a faster processor with a much faster GPU (and has an actual NPU for AI).
3. GaN chargers are very small. You can certainly use a 65W GaN charger on the ASUS Vivobook S if you want. It will just take a little longer to charge. I bought from Amazon 25000mAh power banks with 130W Output for less than $35. Give me a full recharge IF (and it's a big IF) I'm not around a power outlet.
Those are all nitpicky reasons to accept an older, used laptop with a mid-grade CPU, old DDR4 RAM and no NPU. Also the refurb only has a 512GB SSD which many will have to spend more to upgrade themselves,.and only 90Hz refresh vs 120Hz on the newer model display. I doubt you will even notice 90Hz having any visual effect.
I also bought the HP Pavilion Plus with AMD 8845HS and again, it outperforms this refurb in all ways.

Does anyone know about the display quality on either of these. which one is better? I know they are both OLED. (Not worried about 120hz vs 90hz btw).

2. Touch vs non touch. Whether that's important to you or not, it may be important to people who is looking at this laptop.
I am not saying this is a good deal, I don't think it is considering it's a refurb. But if you are going to post a comp, then it should be in the same class, at minimum 14" touch.
