I get confused at this price point. If no gaming, is $800 really a good value for a machine for surfing and office work?

You're typically not getting OLED or this type of battery life on a recent $800 gaming laptop. Maybe if you can score one of those nutty Best Buy open-box deals. This can still do stuff like entry-level 4K video editing and such.

On a gaming laptop you'll gain performance as you know, along with maybe some ports like ethernet, but I think the KB, touchpad, display, battery life, thermals, and fan noise will all be in favor of something like this Vivobook.

I think gaming laptops become more viable at around $1,200 where you can get a Zephyrus G14 with an OLED panel and AMD CPU to help level the field and negate some of the pros of a regular laptop, along with a possibly superior internal hardware upgrade path.

If you want a high end experience, screen, build quality, extras like the IR sensor, etc. yes.

I purchased the 32gb ram version of this refurbished from an eBay seller for a bit less; using it as a portable development and work laptop, and absolutely love it. Native apps are super fast; x64 apps seen to start slow but then generally run ok. The only thing I don't really like is the keyboard backlight color; it's just not that visible.. but it stopped bugging me after the first day or so.

Would this one sold at Costco better with its 32gb if I don't mind smaller screen?

Way better gaming performance with that one. Faster in multicore as well. The latter won't be noticeable in everyday tasks. I'm in the 14" camp myself, I feel it's the perfect size for a laptop that will be used in the lap. Look at MBA and MBP, for example. 13.6" and 14.2" on their smaller variants. Get a bigger screen if you need to see more on screen for Excel or video editing timelines.
