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.

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:
