How does this compare for the surface laptop? I know the latter is significantly more but is the premium worth it?
Build quality 1000x difference. Surface laptop is a nice MacBook Pro replacement while this is a plastic black box. Performance surface feels faster but this Asus is actually faster. Surface is 120hz screen + 120hz touch. Surface is overall fantastic other than:

1. Compatibility
2. Bug on all snapdragon surface devices (pro 11+ laptop 7) for adjusting brightness and unlocking. Nobody tells this but it's a thing. I have 2 surface pro 11 base version and a surface laptop 7 base. The screen flashes whenever adjusting brightness and when unlocking which are super frustrating. I have replaced the surface within return period for 3 times and tried all display samples in BB. They all have this issue regardless, with the surface pro being worse and laptop being slightly better (still has the issue).

This should be a much better deal than the Acer and generally Asus is more reliable (in my experience). Even disregarding the OLED screen, slightly higher resolution and more recent wireless standards, the Ultra 5 226v outperforms the 7520u easily according to CPUbenchmark.net.

Damnit. I bought this at $650 during the black friday deals. Can't believe how cheap it is getting. This is insane.

How long does best buy price match for? I ordered this less than a month ago for $100 more. Thanks!
Sweet talk and be persistent. These things aren't written in stone, so they should be able to do something for you. Just don't put in more than $100 of your time and energy.

Great deal for the specs! The OLED display and Thunderbolt 4 ports make it a solid choice at this price.
