Interstingly I clicked on the Asus website link for this laptop. It mentions "Up to 1tb PCIe 4.0x4 with 6500MB/s read spead. Whis is 85% ish ABOVE what PCIe 4.0 can do. Lies on the main info site. Nice start ASUS.

As of now there is still only the reviewed config, even though as stated in the story they show a white one. And no other CPU or ram or storage options. Maybe more to come soon?

I've always wanted to try 2-in-1 devices. The thought of having a tablet and a laptop sounds really good to me.
But I wonder if Windows is comfortable and responsive in touch devices? I had an android tablet before (granted, old one and not even the same OS) and it was a nightmare to use, it stuttered all over the place. It would take around half a second from the moment I touched the screen and the device actually responding from my touches.

You got your PCIe version mixed up. PCIe 4.0x4 is capable of those speeds.

Former Surface Pro 6 user here, and from my experience, it's not bad. Granted, I really regret spending 1.5k on that thing (which gave me an i7 8650U and 8 gigs of LPDDR3 RAM at very slow speeds). Hardware aside the software isn't bad.

I don't know how you get to "85% ish ABOVE what PCIe 4.0 can do", but 6500MB/s is no sweat for a PCIe 4.0x4 drive.

This, from a 1TB Samsung 980 Pro. PCIe 4.0x4 in my desktop.
