For just a little over $300, users are getting a 1080p display, fingerprint reader, Core i3 CPU, 256 GB SSD, USB-C, HDMI, and more. Users who want the best bang for the buck should consider this sale.

So, as it's been (correctly) predicted, March 2021 marks the return-to-normal, - if ASUS are indeed discounting low-end Core machines now. Couple weeks to knock down the rest of the inflation, and we should be seeing laptops @ $MSRP again.
P. S.: this is a message of hope for my EMEA niggaZ out there. Stay strong.
