For those considering this deal, keep in mind the SSD is removable, but it is a 2242 form factor, and the choice of SSD's is small and are higher priced than their 2280 equivalents.
I bought one at 750 and returned. It is a great laptop, loved the build, screen is gorgeous and keyboard is awesome. It is snappy and battery life was pretty good for me. I was able to install vscode, node, docker etc and didn't get any issues. However i also use cursor to code and it was significantly slower compared to my other laptop since it didn't have arm build. I also just tried installing civ6 and it refused to open. If you are fine with limitations, this is a great laptop.
It actually can be used for most coding tasks just fine. Sure it is not a gaming machine unless you plan to stream.

I have yet to find something that I need and that it can't do and I do actually code for living (at least in part).

If on a fence get it, try it for a month if you are unhappy give it back and no harm done, you got to play with some exciting new tech. I would say chances are 90% you will be happy with it unless you do something quite specialized (and then you should already know not to touch this).

I have this laptop and paid over $1000 for it. Zero regrets!!!! I use it for work and for school for my masters program. It's a super thin machine with an amazing screen and tons of battery life.

I'm picking up a second one at this price!

I have this laptop and love it but installing things like printers (both Canon and brother drivers did not run) can be frustrating. The zoom app for arm64 had a strange flicker and a green tint which I was able to resolve after a few hours of tinkering with apps
Odd. I use Zoom and Teams for work on this laptop with zero issues. And my Canon multi function printer (MF641CW) was easily found by using the add printer function and it works great. Sorry you had a negative experience.

Also, there was a point in time when installing arm windows from scratch was difficult. Hopefully that's fixed, just want to warn folks jic
You can clone your SSD to a bigger SSD using Macrium Reflect X (which is ARM compatible) or clone it using a Windows PC (Intel/AMD) using the x86 version of Macrium X.

Mine is M2, but a couple of my friends bought M4 during BF they claimed 7 to 8 hours average use no one claimed 13 hours.
Edit: Thank you for the reply. My bad for going off topic. I'm getting thumb downs LOL.

My experience is that the M4 Macbook Pro lasts longer than 7 to 8 hours. FWIW, I also asked ChatGPT:

Battery life of the MacBook Pro M4 based on 10 independent reviews:
Review Source: Battery Life (Hours)
The Verge: 17
TechRadar: 18
CNET: 16
Macworld: 15
Laptop Mag: 16
AnandTech: 18
Tom's Hardware: 17
Digital Trends: 16
The Wirecutter: 17
9to5Mac: 16
Average: 17 hours

Back on topic. I've a newish Lenovo (14.5" Slim 7 ProX, AMD Ryzen, RTX 3050) that uses the same chassis as this deal. It's a beautiful and light machine, just a little thermally-limited on an x86 architecture. I'm closely watching the Microsoft/ARM development. I think this is only the beginning. The battery life is there.

i had to choose this one and the Asus, in the end i got the asus because of the bigger screen, 15.6 is more useful

run all kind of work-related software and never had any issue with ARM.

You can think what you want, but no product that's selling well gets a 50% markdown a few months after release.

Apple appears to be doing just fine by accurately pricing it's products.
You do realize this deal is for USED units, right? Not new ones? So it's not really 50% off is it?

Is your screen flat or kinda wavy in reflections?
On the Asus? I've not noticed any wavy effect on the screen but keep in mind it's not a fully glass screen like the stellar Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Aura Edition. That's one helluva great IPS glass screen!

Battery life depends on screen brightness as well. Most reviews tend to measure them at 150 nits. Other reasons could be if you multi task as well. So actual battery life will differ from reviews.

You can get a cheap adapter and use a 2230 size that seems to be cheaper than the 2242.

Alright any 1tb or 2tb 2230 deals to pair up with this?

Yup, both intel and amd have efficient chips now which makes snapdragon lose its edge on battery life.

If you can wait, there will be deals with intel/amd during BF. By then, laptops with the newer chips will have come out and they need to sell last year's model.

the fact is runs Windows but can barely use any other applications than those that are able to be ran on a Chromebook? Windows on a Snapdragon machine is a terrible experience, which you already know; that's the reason these laptops continue to get discounted.
Another looser giving I wanted advice maybe wanted to install 5000 apps even tho he only uses a couple

it's not only Qualcomm that has to put work into it. Major Linux distros need to create and verify that their sw suite works with the mechanisms implemented within the kernel, as it varies between vendors.
Yep, tried that back then - and half of the subsystems didn't work during the install stage. Gotta try again...

There is also another attempt [postmarketos.org] using PostmarketOS (reddit thread [reddit.com]) - haven't tried it yet.

What exactly makes it a "Chrome Book" in your opinion? I have the surface pro with similar specs including the snapdragon processor and it runs great.
Well I think calling it a Chromebook is a little hyperbolic. Those only run Chrome effectively or Android apps. But I believe what they're getting at is because these use arm chips which are generally made for mobile devices instead of traditional PCs, there are some compatibility issues.

but they'll get twice the battery of an a similar laptop with an Intel chip. but there are definitely a lot of games that won't run or run well and there are some software that won't run or run well.

you should look into it.

If you mostly do writing and research and web browsing you're probably fine. which is probably why he's calling it a Chromebook. but Chromebooks don't let you use the desktop version of Firefox for instance or brave.

so this has way more utility than a Chromebook in my opinion.

and the power of the chip is much stronger than what you would find in 99.9% of Chromebooks.

these Snapdragon chips perform quite well in synthetic benchmarks.

but definitely some headaches trying to use windows on arm instead of traditional x86.
