That sounds like a terrific deal. When I looked last Friday, used Good was $1150 (new was $1800). Then it went on sale for $1500 over the weekend and the used Good price went up to $1264.
Was it for shipping, or only in-store? The closest open box available is 2.5hrs away from me. If I could get it for $970, maybe I'd consider driving the 5hrs, but I would probably need about that much savings to take the ride.
Hmm. Already have the Zenbook A16 enroute but grabbed this S16 deal too and will return one of them.
I initially wanted the S16 but the display model at BestBuy had a broken/non-responsive trackpad. Not sure if that's a common problem on the S16. The Scandinavian White looks a lot better, but no good deals on just the color.
The Windows-on-ARM A16 is really impressive and way lighter than the S16 too (2.65 vs 3.31 lbs), but of course costs more too.

I'd like the A16, almost a pound lighter, cooler and better battery life

Recommend you check Reddit closely before buying the ASUS Zenbook S 16. Numerous stories about how this model's screen frequently fails -- amazingly, often just after the one-year manufacturer's warranty expires. Mine was one. Was great for the 13 months it lasted. Now, not so much.

the current model just became available in January, so that would have to be previous versions- at least as far as the 1 year reference. But, still good to know.

That was a cable defect fixed in 2026. Had 2024 24gb model traded in for 2026 model. Paid 970 for 2026 and it was in box and 40 minutes used.. Go figure..
