    I was looking at these previously but found they don't support Thunderbolt 4 for display or power delivery, need to step up to Zenbook for this. Literally the only thing that has stopped me from pulling the trigger.

      The review you shared is with RTX, the OP deal is for builtin graphics

      • bassiveguitar on 09/06/2022 - 13:59

        Agreed, but I did a decent search of finding anything suggesting if the Vivobook Pro line has Thunderbolt. This is as close as I've found.

        I would not be taking Officework's word for it.

          You'd be looking for an Intel model if you want TB4. I assume they've copied over the description without adjusting it.

      8 gigs of RAM and that also the maximum amount…

    Waiting for UHD at that price :(

    • AussieMark on 09/06/2022 - 14:18

      Is uhd better than OLED or is that just resolution

      • Broke Ass Car on 09/06/2022 - 14:21

        Resolution

        • dosada on 09/06/2022 - 14:25

          Seriously? Who needs uhd on 15 inch?

          • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2022 - 14:34

            @dosada: Perhaps he justs wants UHD

              @[Deactivated]: I get it, but it is impossible to work on uhd on 15 inch without scaling. Just wastes faster the battery and gets warmer for nothing

              • plmko on 09/06/2022 - 15:07

                @dosada: This is an Amoled screen. Sharpness is like between 720p. UHD is not there because you want it, it's to look natural on what you expectfor a 15" screen.

              • Broke Ass Car on 09/06/2022 - 21:32

                @dosada: I didn't know about this.

    • keithtran06 on 09/06/2022 - 20:10

      He is expecting too much at this price point. There will be 4k for $ 1K laptop but I think it gonna terrible for colour and contrast. Just similar to 144hz screen on budget gaming laptop.

    • Simoneister on 09/06/2022 - 14:49
      +13

      Yes, because this is a <$1000 laptop with an OLED screen

        Lenovo deal far superior. I got an RTX3060 for sub 1000.

          With a worse display at an unprecedented EDU discount that sold out within hours.

          Apples to oranges mate.

            @Sleeqb7: Pretty sure anyone would take the worse screen for that sort of graphics card. Lenovo was still a deal even though unprecedented and most people have access to an Edu account, except single bankers looking for high yield investments.

              @Lets Make Sandwiches: Not everyone uses a laptop for gaming, screen quality is a huge factor to consider when buying a laptop.

  • [Deactivated] on 09/06/2022 - 14:21

    Thunderbolt 4, 40Gbps, PD (requires a 20V/5A/100W PD Charger to charge)

  • SleepyBargainHunter on 09/06/2022 - 15:01

    Add another stick of ram and this will be a great productivity machine

      You will need a hammer and a soldering iron to do that

  • LlamaFace on 09/06/2022 - 15:29

    You could pop ChromeOS Flex on this and have a banger of a Chromebook.

    • shroomish on 09/06/2022 - 15:34

      Ill try that soon, been enjoying pop os.

  • Giga on 09/06/2022 - 15:49

    is OLED good for eyes ? also is it PWM or non PWM ?

    • Richardc on 09/06/2022 - 16:30

      Don't worry about the pwm unless you need to use it in low light condition.

    • OldSchoolHarry on 09/06/2022 - 23:17

      I think I read somewhere that this laptop uses PWM when below 50% brightness (but don’t quote me on this).

    Having only 8GB of RAM in a device which isn't up-gradable kills the deal for me regardless of price, Windows 10 and 11 uses around 2~3 GB of RAM on idle, 16GB really should be the minimum standard for all laptops especially soldered memory, having only 8GB of RAM doesn't really "futureproof" the device

    • dosada on 09/06/2022 - 22:19

      80% of laptop users will have plenty with 8gb. The rest will buy higher end with more or upgradeable memory

    Why such good specs comes with 8GB of RAM…
