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!

Thread on slickdeal for 12700H variant

Personally, the best option is a model with upgradeable RAM and a new AMD iGPU Radeon 680M, but I have never seen it on sale
i don't know how much is needed for porn. i have to rely on your expertise. i'm not interested in hardware that runs its own operating system. it's for "educated" prosumers such as yourself.
some of them with touch screens aren't even 2-in-1. i never touch my screens unless it's a phone or a tablet.

Anyways couldn't help myself and ordered an excellent open box one. Will compare to the Spectre 16" that has same specs, just IPS vs OLED screen and the size difference. Spectre was $33 cheaper so the OLED or portable size will have to sway me to return the Spectre and keep the ASUS.

Everyone is assuming these reviews for ZenBook 14x which are specifically model u3404 applies to BESTBUY Q420.
Is this correct????

Sorry again about the previous, OP!
Y'all know there are probably dozen or so "Asus ZenBook OLED" and they do vary. Some a lot, and some not but it's impossible to determine the true differences, internal and external build (RAM, CPU of course differs)

I won't touch anything less than 32/1T. I don't mind paying more for dedicated graphics if it makes a significant difference in simple content creation. I see some anti glare protectors on amazon. Many bad reviews. I prefer to have a protector for the screen especially if it has to be a touch screen.
This is where brightness matters. A glossy display must be bright enough to overcome the reflection. Typically, when I see a display that is advertised as "anti-glare", they are matte.
Then there is the Dell 7590 OLED. Dell added an anti-reflective layer to the glossy display and it makes a day-and-night difference. To this day, of the several laptops I have (and others I have used), no other laptop is as good at reducing the light reflection from the glossy screen. Along with a bright display, the 7590 is joy to use. I only wish that other manufactures apply a similar anti-reflective coating on their glossy displays. Here is a discussion about the 7590 OLED [reddit.com].
Another issue is the touch layer. For some people, they can see the "screen door" effect of the touch layer that otherwise ruin a brilliant OLED display.
All to each his own. I hope that the display will get better not only in refresh, flicker, brightness, and color, but also to address environmental issues such as glare and reflection. That said, when the Asus 3D OLED display is release, I'll be the first in line.
If I were in the market for a ~14.5 with a beautiful display, this one is a no-brainer.
Agree on the 32GB, I want the flexibility to run VMs. Soldered 16GB is not desirable. I am not concerned about drive size because I can always upgrade.

Got a great price at 799-120 Amex and additional cashback
Dell seems good other than battery and the 12 gen processor compared to 13
