I'll watch this one for comments. Hopefully others can convince me not to buy it by pointing out some things I didn't catch or not included in the list of specs (like experiential aspects of those who already own it).
Have you used the NPU for any local AI applications? How does it perform?
Is the RAM upgradeable/replaceable?
Seems like a great price for these specs, including touchscreen, backlit keyboard etc. even though the CPU is the entry-level Snapdragon X X1-26-100.

PCIe Wi-Fi is also typically integrated, but it appears many have user-replaceable M.2 NVMe slots.
however, battery efficiency should be very good and the rest of the specs are great. soldered ram is fine here ... no one gonna upgrade ram in a $400 build

Obviously this one has a bigger hard drive, numpad, touch screen, backlit keyboard, USB C charging, faster RAM, and an extra year of warranty for a $75 difference. That's a lot of extras for approximately the cost of just a hard drive upgrade on WM's. But knowing nothing about the CPU is concerning to me, as is Acer build quality vs. ASUS build quality (at least in my experience).
This would be for an engineering student.
