A:Answer I am typing from this laptop now. This is a rebranded Vivobook Pro 15 (K6502VJ to be specific) for Best Buy.
I am using those specs for the answers here:
Good:
Upgradeable RAM (8gb DDR5 on-board, + 1x SO-DIMM slot populated w/ 8GB module)
I9 13900H
OLED 2.8k 120hz screen
Ethernet jack
2x USB A 3.1
2x USB C 3.2 (will charge on USB C, though slowly)
1080p webcam w/ manual privacy shutter
Nvidia 3050 w/ 6GB GDDR6 memory
Not so good:
Apart from the lid, its all plastic
Not a touchscreen
Not a 2-in-1
Odd:
Full size SD card slot
Fingerprint reader
It feels like a Vivobook, not a Zenbook, no premium materials other than the lid, just the anti-bacterial guard.
Screen is gorgeous, but it feels like a missed opportunity to get a touchscreen and flip on a laptop marketed toward artists and designers. Also not sure why they put a fingerprint reader on a non business laptop? A nice to have feature, for sure, but it feels out of place here.
Performance is yet to be seen, but I expect it to be above average.
For the price I paid, I expected quite a bit more on the materials side, but I guess to keep costs down its better to skimp there than on performance.
I am still debating if I want to keep this or return it for last years Q539 Flip. Part of me feels like I got scammed into buying a midrange unit and the other part is telling me that a 13900H, OLED screen, upgradeable memory, ethernet, and an RTX 3050 are nothing to scoff at this price point.
