Best Buy has this ASUS Vivobook for half off. Good deal for basic office and productivity machine
Normal price for a budget laptop. Best Buy's "Comparable Value" of $600 is overstated. You can buy a better laptop than this any day of the week. Slow CPU and meager storage. No touchscreen and no backlit keyboard. Nothing special, but if you need one, you need one.

It would be a good value if display was a bit brighter. 300nits is OK, but 250nits is NOT

You lose 4 e-cores (i3 has 2P 4e, i5 has 2P 8e, benchmark performance difference is at most 20% so even less in the real world. Both laptops have 8GB fixed and 1 socket (i5 has 4GB in the socket) but I'm upgrading to 8+8GB anyway. Almost half of the i3's 128GB SSD is used by Windows but they don't use much storage anyway (and 256/512GB SSD are dirt cheap). The rest of the two laptops are identical: mediocre but adequate screen for indoor use, 802.11ac 1x1 M.2 card (it's not like people download GBs of data regularly so I didn't consider upgrading it even though a 802.11ax 2x2 M.2 card is around $10).
