Let me preface by saying I'm a Lenovo X1 series fanboy. I've owned a dozen or so from Gen 3 all the way up to the current Gen13 Aura, to include some of the variants in the X1 line; yoga, eXtreme, etc.

I've also owned the Zenbook 14X OLED which was a near perfect device, and now have this exact model for about 3 weeks. Bought opened box "good" condition for $670 and ended up being in excellent condition with only 3 cycles on the battery. At this price, this thing is an AMAZING value despite some of its shortfalls; FHD res, 60hz panel, usb-c on right side, and it's trackpad...

The battery on this is "somewhat" (an hour more of screentime) better than the X1 however is arguably "faster" in tasks and loading times.

Using Adobe Illustrator as a subjective testing method, loading on my Gen 13 Aura fans immediately spin up. On the Zenbook they will stay off almost entirely, and stay silent unless I am doing heavy processing.

My biggest gripe with this unit is the damn trackpad. I truly think this is subjective and shouldn't stop anyone from purchasing.

No, it's not an arm processor. Those are the Snapdragon ones.

How does this deal compare with the ThinkPad X1 and X9 BF deals? I know it's not the same class, but some of the specs are even better.

Edit: Looks like this model has gone on sale a couple of times at this price. Not a true BF deal.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285H is not an ARM processor; that is exactly what I am saying.

We narrowed down between this and a Lenovo Yoga for my daughter in college. We really wanted to like it with the specs, but for our experience, between the fan noise and getting hot during moderate to heavy usage, she opted for the Lenovo.

I got it for my wife. I love how light it is. It is quite powerful, portable, great battery life.

I do wish that the charging port was interchangeable.. left or right.. she sleeps on the left side of the bed..
