If you don't want glossy displays then why in the world are you even looking at a laptop with an OLED display.
Anyway, it's a fantastic laptop and if you read the bestbuy reviews you'll see many say it was a steal at $1000 so it's now one of the best deals out there for $800.
I previously bought a 15.6 Asus VivoBook OLED from Walmart and returned it due to heat/fan noise issues. It had an i7-12700H CPU so I was worried about the i7-13700H on this one. But this is much cooler and quieter than the VivoBook was. The fan does run some if the laptop is on my chest, but it's very quiet in standard mode and you can set it for whisper mode to make it near silent with normal use. The CPU is super fast, one of the fastest out there in a laptop. This is not a game machine but I read the new Intel built-in GPU (Iris Xe) is much better than in the past and while it may not yet match a Ryzen, it's getting closer.
The screen is gorgeous and while I like matte, this glossy screen is sharp and no problem for me. I think its about 500 nits, is plenty bright, hi-res makes it easy to read text, and colors just jump out with the OLED. The speakers (set at "dynamic") are amazing for a laptop this size. They not only sound great, but can get super loud as well. Best speakers I've had in a laptop though I hear a Macbook is even better (but never had one). But it's still a laptop so don't expect miracles.
Ports are just OK since there is just one USB A port and while there are two USB C Thunderbolt ports, one is used up if you use external power. There is no SD card port. The HDMI port is version 2.1 which is good for external 4K video. The memory is soldered in and can't be expanded though you can replace the m.2 SSD if you wish to upgrade (it is Gen 4).
The touchpad can light up as a number pad which looks great, but I think is still a bit of a gimmick unless you practice using it.
I love the simple look of it and the all metal case is icing on the cake!

Probably wont matter if you are using an egpu.
Quibble all you want, but spec like this just 2 years ago (unrelated to pandemic) would have been min $1500.
Not just Asus, but across most models.
I may still pull the trigger and see if I can sell the Dell. One worry is the thermals and throttling - there are not enough reviews out there. Anyone has a view on that?
Also I agree with a few other posters, glossy screen is absolutely a pain in the neck...
Seems like a good machine. Would pick up at this price if I hadn't already bought a macbook air.
