For those who swear by ASUS. This is an amazing deal and the one for those who don’t wana spend a fortune on a laptop.

After some light research on laptops under $1k my understanding is this ASUS screen is only 250nits. However vs the Acer swift go (400nits) you got $997 vs $835. 15.6” vs 14” in screen size. Both are very good just depends on what you would be using it for. For your convenience the Acer I was also considering was:

Hope this helps some of you.

Below I have just copied and pasted the specs from the website.

    It has 8GB onboard and 8GB module. You should be able to replace the module with a higher capacity if you need more

      if so, it would say

      Memory Max Up to: 32GB
      or
      Memory Max Up to: 64GB

      So, either the specs are wrong, or 16gb is the limit.

        16GB is the cover-our-ass limit specified by ASUS

        They allow you to install a larger capacity SODIMM to build a 24GB or 40GB config but do not support or provide warranty for it

        This is why ASUS remains a B tier laptop OEM - Lenovo tell you the recommended max because they actually test different module sizes and brands

  Acer is good on paper, though reading reviews the quality is not so good. I am still waiting for OLED zenbook. There was a deal recently for 1132$, but missed that one.

      How is the build quality and fan noise of Acer Oled? Also, is the screen a glare screen or non-glare screen, does your eyes get hurt if you look at the laptop for prolonged times, and how does it look compared to the other 14 inch screen size laptops? Thank you

  This is an amazing deal and the one for those who don’t wana spend a fortune on a laptop.

  This ASUS has an IPS 15.6" 250nits 45% NTSC display - no different to this sub $500 Acer

  An "amazing deal" is a high spec laptop between $700-900 with a top tier screen:

  HP Pavilion Plus i5-1335U, 16GB DDR5, 256GB SSD, 14" 2.5K IPS 300nits VRR 120Hz $748 + Delivery ($0 C&C / in-Store) @ JB Hi-Fi

      This ASUS has a display that belongs to a sub $500 laptop

      Do you think an extra 8GB RAM and upgrade to a 13500H is worth $350?

    Here are the stats that show you how much of a slaughter…
