Got the 395+ variant ~6 months ago to replace a Asus Dual Screen laptop thingy that immediately went of the fritz. It's crazy fast, the screen is great, and the type cover is on par with the Surface Pro. It's surprisingly heavy and thick if you're used to Surface tablets. The battery life isn't as bad as a "gaming" laptop, but not very good if you're doing anything taxing (feels like a laptop from ~2010). I just leave my laptops in the Performance power profile, so take that into account.
Overall I'm very happy with it, but it isn't ideal for tablet use (like reading books/papers). Oh, and check if it comes with a stylus. Mine didn't, even though the cheaper Asus Duo did.

did you leave the Asus bloatware or you use G-helper?

I removed all the armory crate junk and only kept their updater (which asks for an account, but you can bypass it). I don't care about rgb. I don't remember there being much bloatware. Some subscription based video editor (which can just f right off) and a handful of those shortcut icons that try to get you to install garbage.
Haven't heard of g helper. I'm have to look into it.
390 is 12C/24T, with 32CU iGPU which performs about on par with RTX 5050 Mobile but without FSR4 support, which is a bummer. That being said this product is the niche of niches. At this price you're starting to compete with 5080 laptops with 32GB RAM. Anybody who is seriously considering spending this much money to run AI models on unified system memory would be better served renting compute or buying a dedicated AI machine and remoting into it.

The recent leaks are pointing to the possibility of FSR4 being usable on any GPU though. Unconfirmed, but might be a game changer if true.

I'd take those rumors with a grain of salt. From what I've read, FSR4 suffers in performance with older generations. Even if it didn't, assuming the best, Strix Halo is still way too overpriced for what is honestly supposed to make powerful devices more simple to manufacture!

Anyone looking to buy this is only doing it because of the portability. If you wanted performance you would get the Flow X16 over this.
