Same computer for $1200 seem to be sold out at Staples.

Beautiful machine but if you look at the hinge it will likely be that the machine blows hot air at the screen, limiting cooling during heavy work

Hard to justify an upgrade when my 5-year old Zenbook is serving me just fine, but I want it! Argh.

Such a good deal.

No usb c charging or display via usb c which is the only big missing feature I can see so far; check out the review https://www.ultrabookreview.com/37505-a ... iq-review/

Bought, thanks OP! Been eyeing this particular laptop to replace the my Flex 14 from last year (great laptop in it's own right but the battery life left a lot to be desired even after power mods).

This or the lenovo flex 14 with ryzen 4700u from Costco?

For me, 2 in 1 is cool but not necessary, use it here or there.

Don’t know which to go for as they are the same price, help!

After seeing the Zenbook in white I can't bring myself to buy this in grey.

Looks really cool, but some of the cons in this review make it a tough sell for me:

If 2 in 1 is not a requirement, I would go from the Asus. Better screen (slightly brighter and more accurate colours) and the chassis is aluminum so it's going be stiffer and more robust.

True, probably will stick with the Lenovo.

CC updated their return policy so opened products cannot be returned, only in some cases up to manager’s approval. Don’t wanna risk buying it only to find out I don’t like it.

Costco gives 90days to return and 2 years warranty free.

Just a bit off topic, I have been using Zenbook UX430 for about 3 years and I just noticed my keyboard got bloated a bit (around the area of z, x button). Is it because I charge it all the time? Is it ok to continue using or I need to change battery? Pls help. All buttons are still working properly.
