I bought one and it has been solid. Battery life is very bad, but I rarely use it on the go. Noise is not too bad once you use the Asus tools to turn the fans down. I upgraded the memory to 40GB by adding a single 32GB stick.
This is a pretty good price for an OLED fast laptop. Of course the battery life and noise level won't be as good. They should've used a U or P cpu instead!

I own this laptop and run this daily. I use whisper mode to keep the fans from blasting. The battery life is not anywhere close to Apple Silicon, but the display is beautiful.
Just be aware that battery life is the killer on this thing. Display is beautiful but you gotta keep the brightness low to extend battery life if you're on the go. I upgraded to 24gb with a 16gb stick of ram. Overall it's a great laptop, nice display, and good for what it is. It's not a gaming machine
That means H cpu eat more battery power.

I have a similar ASUS laptop e.g. ASUS OLED screen laptop with 120Hz 0.2ms up to 550 nits.

The screen is impressive.
The high-resolution (2,880-by-1,800pixel) OLED display is the star of the Asus laptop. The panel produces an incredibly crisp and dynamic image with stellar contrast and vibrant colors. It's rated for a substantial 550 nits of brightness, and white levels are pretty bright, while OLED's ability to completely turn off individual pixels results in inky blacks. The colors generated by the screen are accurate and vivid.
I put it alongside my Dell XPS 17 (Dell 9720). My Dell XPS 17 cost more than $1700.
The Asus Zenbook screen is as good as or perhaps better than my Dell XPS 17 screen.
So far it's great. I love the screen, but it eats battery fast. You can set it to 60hz fixed to reduce battery consumption.
It's quiet for daily use. I don't really use the power of the I7-12700H. Mainly for media consumption.
