Previously the lowest price for open box excellent was 822. I would wait for that to come back.

I bought the excellent at 822 that shipped yesterday. One of the best productivity laptops I've used with 9 hours of battery life weighing in at 3.3lbs.Based off benchmark reviews "The Ryzen AI 9 365 overall performed similar to the Ryzen 7 7840HS but at 52% the power! Or was about 31% faster than the Intel Core Ultra 7 155H while at 64% the power use."
The only thing is that from what I heard from other threads was that the warranty does not transfer over if you get an open box. Also the idle efficiency on these are not the best. Laptop drained from 40% to 27% in 12 hours of idle??

Thank you! This is crazy helpful. Never really considered this might be the issue. I'm going to do a few more tests and see if it impacts before I adjust modern standby. Assuming the WakeOnLan won't be working if I turn it off. Not an issue though, battery life is more important than the rare occasion I use that feature.

No idea what they are talking about. The screen is gorgeous.
Just a fair warning on open box on this model. It seems there may be some quality control issues. I originally got an open box from Best Buy that was in great condition. After using it for a while I realized the Wi-Fi wouldn't hold a connection to my 5Ghz WiFi router. Also one of the usb C ports was super finicky and would often drop whatever was plugged in there frequently.
I absolutely love the laptop, so I returned the open box and got a brand new one. No issues with this one and it really is the perfect windows development laptop for me.
I do application programming for macOS and windows, so I have a MacBook Pro (M1) as well. Obviously the MacBook is great but there are a few things I like better on this Asus that surprised me. I love the screen and the giant trackpad. Battery life and performance are actually pretty close between the two.
