I think it's good to correct some exaggeration, but personally I would still prefer an 8gb M2 with small storage on a laptop that easily gets all day battery life. If it were going to sit on my desk 24/7 connected to a monitor, then I'd take the Asus ExpertBook. But as someone who travels and works from home but works all over the house or out of coffee shops, I would easily prefer the Mac.

And it would specifically have to be an M2 since they upped it to 256GB minimum. I have the lowest end M1, and the tiny SSD is a constant pain when combined with the lack of RAM.

FYI, that's not a 12-core CPU. It's a 2+8 core CPU.

1080p - that's a non starter for me.

Well the two reviews give it 1 star as a quality control dumpster fire.

And the screen is 1080p from 15 years ago.

No thanks.

Each specific configuration gets its own product page, so the distribution of reviews might be a bit random.

Haven't had an issue with mine, except a bit noisy fan that was fixed with a recent firmware update.

Battery life is stellar as well and I can easily go on for the work day and more with it, from what I've seen.
