FWIW, I had been considering the Zenbook 14 but ended up going with a Surface Laptop 7 refurbished on eBay for $700 (black) or $600 (silver). But for me, the increased battery life of the ARM chipset was crucial and compatibility with an x86 chipset was nominal.

Can you please share the eBay link? I am trying to make the same decision and am leaning towards Surface.
I like the Zenbook line. I like mine but it's 5 years old and limited to 8gb of soldered ram. I hate soldered ram. If this had a real GPU with it's own ram I would snap this up.
There is actually one in stock new at WM not too far from me.... but the 16gb of soldered ram still bums me out. I googled around for 780m benchmarks and yeah it can easily eat up 4gb+ of memory and you're still gaming at 720p on most stuff.
If you're not a big gamer, this seems like a nice laptop for $600.

Arm is not compatible with a lot of apps, so u made a wrong decision
