Got an open box one for under $1k. Not a gamer so ok with 60Hz and underwhelming graphics card. The most taxing thing i will do is 4k video editting. For an 11th Gen 4K touchscreen OLED 16GB/1TB seemed like a good deal.

This looks good on paper (though 32gb RAM and 512gb SSD would be better), this is not premoum Zenbook line. Chasis is thick and ugly, and weighs at least 4-4.5 lbs.

Screen nits not indicated, but I suspect not that high, otherwise they would have put there

It doesn't have a dual screen or touchpad screen either. pretty meh

Would have paid $800, not more

This is a bad take. It has an amazing OLED display. Someone on BB comments said it gets TOO bright for them on max brightness. This is likely a 500nit display. It has a brushed aluminum chassis, not sure if all metal but definitely some of it is. Yes it's larger, it's a 15 inch laptop with a dedicated GPU. Look elsewhere if a small and portable ultrabook is what you are after.

Wrong, check this thread on reddit from a user who has first hand experience. Not sure if you are trolling or guessing.

Why does ASUS use such a horrible keyboard layout? The 10-key is cramped and awkward, and that combination right-Ctrl/menu key makes me cry.

You'll have to end up turning off the touchpad. Because the pad is not in the middle of the keyboard, your bottom of your right thumb will hit the touchpad as you are typing.

Pretty sure it does NOT charge over USB-C.. The one person that says PD charging works has got to be confused.. Just below there's a person with 3 different USB-C chargers and none of them worked on his unit. Let alone that, people indicating USB-C charging does not work on the Best Buy QA section... Asus specs don't mention USB-C charging either.. normally they would boast about this if it had it.. This alone makes this machine a complete deal breaker for me.

Neither trolling or guessing. I should've mentioned that I have this laptop and can confirm first-hand that it does not support charging through USB-C. I had asked a rep at BestBuy prior to purchasing this laptop and they confirmed the same - you'll have to use the power cable that came with the laptop to charge the laptop through the power jack.

The screen is 600 nits and looks absolutely amazing. Far better than any LCD. Image quality is definitely a positive.

The drawbacks to this display are high power consumption and possibility of permanent burn-in if you aren't careful about frequent, static content.

I would be surprised if any of these 15.6 OLED 4K Intel laptops support USB charging. They use an enormous amount of power compared to their 1080p LCD counterparts. Mine will hose through the battery in 2-3 hours just web browsing, not gaming. It has a huge 250W power brick. Not sure USB PD could keep up.

The Q528 looks good to me instead. Only $900 right now and I think the only difference is it has a LED 1080 screen but still the same specs.
