OK, so Asus didn't actually answer the question as posed. The 4070 model is GA402XI-G14.R94070 and is not the same as this 4060 model, which is GA402XV-G14.R94060. Neither of these is a mini-led model, these are both IPS screens. It appears that only the top-end model with the laptop 4090 in it has the mini-led screen. Also, it's not completely clear about a couple other questions re this 4060-containing model. It does appear that they continued to skimp on the SSD this year (like last year) with only 512 GB not 1 TB. And Best Buy's description says that on this 4060-containing model they also skimped (in my opinion) by putting only an 8 GB of soldered RAM plus a wasted 8 GB stick that you have to throw away when (most people) upgrade the memory. Now, Asus appears to have fixed this bad decision in this year's version of the 4070-containing (and higher) models. So what seems odd to me, is why wouldn't they fix this obvious Asus mistake across the board? Or, maybe equally likely, they did fix it but Best Buy messed up on the documentation. Maybe somebody who actually bought the 4060 model can open it up and answer the latter question based on fact, as opposed to guesswork, lol. Another open question is, does this 4060 model have a USB4 jack on it. All the other models (with the possible exception of a very-low model with a 7035 class CPU, which I don't even know if Best Buy sells) do have a USB4 40-gigabit jack on them - and the 7940HS CPU definitely supports USB 4. Yet this lower level model (in Best Buy's description) states the same jacks as last year's models had. So again, this is either a Best Buy typo or else maybe an explicit decision by Asus to put less functionality in the lower-priced entry-level models. We can't rule out the latter, I suppose, cuz maybe they had some left-over 2022 chassis to use up? Again, can a real purchaser of this specific model fill us in?
