Ignore him. He's a spammer and makes bogus comments like this on every other laptop thread.
He recently posted a subpar Mac mini desktop and has spammed literally every other Mac mini thread with his posted deal's link which is already in negative votes.

Have you seen an ultrabook in which the memory ram is not soldered? Let me know.

Community Reviews

The ZenBook 14 stands out as a thin OLED touchscreen laptop with strong everyday performance from the Ultra 7 255H, and the open box price around $535 to $650 makes it look attractive for the hardware. The 14 inch display, 16GB memory, and 512GB SSD fit a portable productivity setup, and the chip is framed as better for brute force work than AI focused Lunar Lake parts. The main drawbacks are soldered RAM, a low 13 TOPS NPU rating, and reports of loud fan behavior. Screen clarity and speakers also drew criticism, making it a solid compact option if those tradeoffs are acceptable.

  • people comparing it to other 14-inch OLED Ultra 7 options because commenters say it's a "good deal" at $650 and would be a jump-on purchase if they hadn't already bought a similar Vivobook for $450.

    TakeMeToYourDealer

  • buyers who care about AI hardware capability comparisons because the community points out the NPU "13 TOPS" rating is meant as a way to compare AI performance across hardware.

    mdcumming1974

  • shoppers who want a higher-end OLED experience but are okay with the specific Ultra 7 255H configuration because one commenter notes the OmniBook X Flip's 3K 120Hz OLED is better, while this deal is still positioned as the Ultra Core 7 alternative.

    sillywabbittwix

  • buyers who want strong NPU/AI performance for the money because multiple commenters call the "13 TOPS" figure low for the deal and question whether it's enough for future NPU-using software.

    pmperrykabukichoElon69

  • people who are sensitive to laptop fan noise because one open-box buyer says the fan "would never stop," with many online noise complaints, and that it "killed it."

    Deathmunky

  • people who need good speakers and crisp OLED clarity because a return reviewer says the OLED looked "oddly blurry" and the speakers were "trash," among the worst they've used.

    IndigoSparrow415

  • buyers who specifically want higher AI-focused silicon (Lunar Lake) because commenters compare this 255H as having minimal AI integration and lower TOPS focus versus 256V/258V chips that focus more on AI.

    Lukeed

  • buyers who are planning to rely on open-box warranty/credit-card coverage because one commenter warns that warranty extension/protection may not apply to open-box items, potentially forcing paid Geek Squad coverage.

Good deal. I would jump on this if I hadn't got the s14 vivobook non touch with 5 ultra for 450.

Isn't there a new ram format that suppose to resolve this? I think it was called CAMM2 or something?

I bought samsung book 5 pro for 600$ with the paypal deal. It had oled, ultra 7 series 2 processor with 47 tops, 32 gb ddr5 ram and 1 TB

Compared to that this deal is pretty warm.

Different processor. The Samsung has the 258V, this has the 255H. For TOPS and AI usage, the 258V is better. For brunt force processing, the 255H is better on paper (haven't seen much real life testing), but it has a higher power draw and technically lower iGPU.

255H is arrow lake with minimal AI integration and not focused on high TOPs. The 256V/258V are lunar lake with a focus on AI integration.

13 TOPS seems pretty low if 45 is minimum (or was it 40 TOPS for CoPilot). not that I care about it but eventually other software can use the NPU and more the better at some point.

LOL! You wish I was a spammer but nope. The "RAM not soldered. Lame" comment was mine and contributive. Nobody cares if you dislike that.
