This HP at Costco for $315 is very similar in specs:
https://slickdeals.net/f/18313705-costco-members-hp-laptop-14-1080p-i3-100u-12gb-ram-512gb-ssd-315

12GB RAM
A newer CPU with ~10% higher score
Double the storage
Similar weight (3.08lb vs 3.09lb)

Not sure how build quality compares, and you need a Costco membership for that one, of course.

I bought this one super-quick. Id been looking for a couple months and this seems to be the right balance on price/specs/weight/brand I was looking for. Would love to see some comments reassuring I made the right call.

Newer CPU but i3 (vs i5 for this). Is it really better?

Yes. I3/i5/i7 are just naming schemes for the uneducated

ICYMI, I recently had the worst computer experience of my life by far, with Asus, their "Warranty" & Best Buy. And it's NOT Just Me....

Asus has a D- rating at the Better Business Bureau - Failure to respond to 83 complaint(s) filed against business

ASUS warranty is an epic scam. [from 15-yr Asus fan]

I am never buying ASUS equipment again due to their poor warranty service [from 10-yr Asus fan]

PSA: If you ever did a warranty claim with Asus and felt like they ripped you off, read this.

Did you get the replacement of your Asus laptop? [fought with Asus for 8 MONTHS]

Probably could've been more gently phrased as "The names are just meaningless marketing".

Here's the benchmark comparisons for those that just want to see the numbers:
