The CPU i5 1235U was released 2 years ago. Intel's new naming scheme for processors is "Core Ultra"

Post any "Core Ultra" around $300 with about same config?​

Also the Dell $250 laptop below atm is very enticing...
Wonder is Xe graphics matter over UHD graphics or its just a naming scheme (Some people say its the same igpu performance, just the dual channel performance gains).

Quite a decent deal, and having at least one RAM slot to which one can add a 16 gig stick is a pretty great solution. 16 gig just isn't enough ram nowadays, especially with the iGPU also taking a slice from it.

The Xe is a bit bettter than prevouis UHD but it is still nowhere near as good as even very low end discrete.

I did already before asking. Seems like it has been that price twice for a short period of time. For one of those two times two posts exist for the same sale. That does not make it a normal price

2 3 5 months should be returned in the same search results.
Then I caught SD full deleting another $250 thread, but they were adamant that they don't do that.

Those you posted are I3 models with 256GB, and this is an I5 with 512GB.

Seriously??? Please note the difference between Core i3-1215U and Core i5-1235U. You've been warned!

For a brand new laptop with Core i5-1235U, this $300 Asus is likely the cheapest one available so far. But only 256GB SSD and non-touch display (also probably TN)
https://slickdeals.net/f/18017487-asus-vivobook-15-6-fhd-i5-1235u-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-299-99

A Core i3-1215U laptop could be as low as ~$200 indeed (8GB/128GB/TN)
