Lol its because it uses triple-channel memory so there's 3x16gb chips but yes, big and fast. (https://www.techpowerup.com/cpu-s...-100.c4340)

If you're going to clone to a larger SSD (I used a Samsung 990 Pro 2TB), I would recommend using Hasleo Backup Suite and do the cloning live in Windows (not from a bootable portable USB drive). Being ARM is a little different than doing it on an Intel Windows laptop. This ASUS has 16 partitions on the SSD. Hasleo is the only one I could get working as it should. Macrium works but marks the wrong partition as the boot so the target SSD doesn't boot. You can fix it with a some commands to mark the correct partition. Search with Google as there is a reddit thread how to fix it.

compatibility. some programs just aren't going to work. i guess its come a long way and is still getting there but you'll have programs that just won't work. but i guess these cpu's are actually low battery usage beasts and should be fine for most.

Community Reviews

The ZenBook A16 stands out as a fast, premium Windows on ARM laptop with a 3K OLED 120 hertz touch display, 48 gigabytes of RAM, and very strong battery life. The Snapdragon X2E94100 feels snappy in everyday use, runs quietly, and can deliver around 10 hours of real work. App compatibility is much better than early ARM fears suggested, but specific programs, some games, and a few utilities still fail or need workarounds. Open box warranty handling and the single M.2 storage slot are the main cautions, though the machine still looks like a capable travel and productivity pick.

48GB of RAM? Am I missing something?
Nope, you read that right. 48GB of ram! It's the sweet spot for people who think 32GB is for amateurs, but 64GB is for people who hate money lol

It was $1500 not while ago and now reduced to $1370...wonder why such a drop in price

Costco is selling MSI for $1399.99 (apart from CPU & 32GB RAM it has pretty similar characteristic) https://slickdeals.net/f/19983456-costco-members-msi-prestige-16-laptop-core-ultra-x7-358h-2-8k-oled-touch-32gb-1399-99?p=186650793#post186650793

If you're not gaming and Windows ARM isn't a deal breaker, the A16 is a much better computer.

I was also considering this laptop, but read too many complaints about overheating and getting too hot.

I'm not going to game on this laptop. It is hard to know which program won't work past 15-day return windows. ASUS or Windows can stop supporting ARM-based processors, as it suits them (money talks), and ASUS warranty claims (heard enough bad things but never experienced yet). Linux support is not going to happen in the near future as well. So if Windows pulls the plug in the next version, Windows 12...this will be $1500 dead weight and only works on Windows 11 (this is mostly fear, but it may never happen).

It is a mix bag when it comes to getting too hot. Hopefully MSI brings a better price at Thanksgiving, since the $400 off coupon came twice (both times the promo lasted for 20-30 days).

Hilarious that Google is selling their Googlebook close to this price with lesser specs.
To run Android phone apps! People give Windows ARM all sorts of crap about compatibility but are tripping over themselves to buy a Googlebook to run what? I've gone to a couple of the manufacturers sites and they don't even talk about what to use it for and what to run on it! Crazy...if you want a bigger screen and a keyboard -- that already exists...it's called a tablet!

9523MT/s is crazy fast. It's part of why the A16 feels so snappy, also that X2E94100 has some crazy high memory bandwidth!

That "if" is doing a lot of work. Microsoft's own first party devices run Windows on ARM so I don't see them dropping support.

Yeah, I said this is a wild claim, but remember Microsoft dropped Windows Phone (even though they were promising, as I loved Nokia Windows Phone). ASUS is another culprit who doesn't have a good track record of updating software and supporting warranty claims (again, it is based on many people posted here and on Reddit). Microsoft is going all the way on this processor for the Surface Pro series and many other models, so I don't see it is going away anytime in the near future (Microsoft and Google, or big tech, can drop products even if they spend tons of money, as only a smaller percentage of projects become successful).

It was listed for $1500 in August here, so why are they dumping prices so fast where RAM prices are going higher than gold? Obviously they're not selling well (it seems that way).

you'd be surprised about just how many systems run windows arm on the business side of things. microsoft has been making software for arm for a long time now. arm is actually a better architecture.

also i think we are starting to see a crossroads of choosing to eat and get gas vs buy things you want. things are getting more expensive and less people can afford. we are kinda f'd.

so true, and this is a great configuration for a price, and an Intel-based system with 48GB RAM will be double the price (who knows)
