A:AnswerThis is a Best Buy-exclusive model, hence the "BB" in the Model identifier. They're extremely similar, but this one comes with dual-Thunderbolt USB ports, whereas the 14X only comes with one.
A:AnswerIt has a dedicated GPU. Just one, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. I purchased another ASUS Zenbook for my daughter's engineering classes that also has a dedicated GPU. They are great computers.
A:AnswerI work in technology and I have had this computer since October 2023. The fan has noticeably turned on less than 5 times, if it is on it sounds loud (like any other), but I don't think it has ever lasted on for more than 3 minutes.
A:AnswerA little longer than it takes to eat a bag of chips. In all seriousness my experience has been 2-4 hours of heavier use like media and content creation like video editing and thumbnail all together. And about 5-6 hours on balanced with 60-70% brightness
A:AnswerThis model has *two* Thunderbolt 4 ports - I just confirmed it on the product model page on ASUS.com, and if you check the product images and zoom in on the two USB-C ports, you'll see the "thunderbolt" logo next to both.
A:AnswerAs long as the AC adapter has the following specification, it will work properly with this laptop model: TYPE-C, 100W AC Adapter, Output 20V DC, 5A, 100W, Input: 100~240V AC 50/60Hz universal.
A:AnswerThis laptop model and the laptop posted at the ASUS support site are identical. The 550 nits is the HDR+ brightness level, and 400 nits is the overall brightness level of the display.
A:AnswerCheck every Tuesday or Wednesday. They said they restock every Tuesday but I would give them time but this one seems little more popular so there is a good chance it might not come back in for a while
