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.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is not a Zenbook. It's a Vivobook Q540VJ. See the attached image. Still a great laptop, but definitely not a Zenbook. Doesn't say Zenbook, doesn't look like a Zenbook, doesn't feel like a Zenbook. It's a Vivobook, case closed. LOL
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The model is a Best Buy exclusive Q540VJ Zenbook
