I think this is a pretty well rounded laptop in a tried and true chassis.
Comes with the new MX450 graphics card which appears to get close to the GTX1050Ti in performance. Also has a 300nit touch screen, not sure of the colour accuracy though.
Add $50 for 16GB of RAM

  Fair specs but smaller battery kills the deal for me

  Why buy this when you can score a MBA with M1 Apple silicon for $1223 with the Coles/TCN gift cards?

    1. You can run Windows applications natively without Rosetta.
    2. You can install other operating systems such as Linux natively.
    3. RAM is SODIMM, so you are not limited to the non upgradeable 8/16GB of the AIR.
    4. The main board supports two NVME SSDs vs one on the AIR. The SSD in the Air can't be upgraded.
    5. It can support two external displays vs 1 on the Air.
    6. The Air doesn't support eGPU via Thunderbolt
    7. The Nvidia MX450 dGPU has native driver support for AAA games, where Windows has the dominant market share.

    I hope that answers your question.

  any deals for 14 inch version with mx 450?

  The mx450 sounds promising, I thought the mx350 just got released so never knew there was already a mx450

  Was tempted to jump on this. The single channel ram (only one ram slot, none soldered) was my only reservation.
