14th-Gen like those with issues are for desktop, Core ultra is equivalent to 14th-Gen laptop.

This is a great workhorse.
The issues you are mentioning plagued both 13th and 14th Gen desktop variants.

Just an FYI this is misleading for this particular laptop, on which you've commented.
14th Gen and Ultra 1 series widely came out in the same year. This model did not have the 14th Gen Intel chip but instead after the 13th Gen they came out with Ultra 1 series earlier this year and with the 2nd series just a month or so ago, which would be widely available by the end of this year or Q1 2025.
I am pretty sure Zen Book with Core Ultra is already out and have been on SD as well. So, there is nothing misleading. Yes, Ultra 2 variant of "this" particular model have not arrived just "yet".

Read my comment again. You mentioned 14th Gen and that's what I was highlighting with respect to this laptop. It never had a 14th Gen Intel processor but Ultra 1 series right after 13th Gen.
Your comment implies like this processor is 3 years old, whereas it's not and came out earlier last year.

It is soldered (LPDDR5) also explained by Hat-trick user (marked as helpful).
No, you are reading right!

On the ad page posted, the top of that specific page that has the laptop says Cyber Monday Nov.2. Are we sure this is available starting Nov 29 and not only available Dec. 2?

Actually that review is of a similar but different laptop model. It is the 14x which is 14.5 inches instead of 14" and weighs more.

This seems like a decent deal until you realize the RAM is soldered and the CPU is defective. I suppose if you trust Intel to actually fix it, then it's a good buy.

Only the desktop CPU from 13/14th gen are defective. There were no issues with the laptop CPU from these gen.

The 13900H is slightly faster than the 155H: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/comp...tra-7-155H

But you're right that the ASUS Vivobook S 15.6 laptop will have better battery life and bigger screen (tradeoff is it's a bit heavier). Thanks for posting about it. Now, I might consider that one instead.

Zenbook series are generally more premium than Vivobook series.
