This looks like an incredible deal, haven't seen it for under $1k before. Checked out a review (https://www.laptopmedia.com/revie...-sf314-71/) and it seems that the only downsides are low PWM at low brightness and CPU thermal throttling for extended periods. The 420nits for an OLED panel with SDR content seems especially promising. Looks like a good screen, good battery life, and overall good laptop for portable coding/photo editing. Waiting on mine to arrive now and replace my aging Thinkpad.

Wasn't the ASUS Zenbook with a 13700H on sale for $800. This is a solid deal if you don't need a GPU. I feel like some of these OLED laptops are priced too high when ASUS has a comparable one at $1000 MSRP.
Wow there's some solid specs very comparable to the one Best Buy has the Asus Zenbook but for $50 less, but the Zen book has a 1 gen newer i7 but this Acer has 1TB SSD and a slot for one more while the Zenbook doesn't.

Yea, I missed that one looking back just now. The iGPU is good enough for what I plan on using it for and I'll just have to accept the slight performance loss vs the newer generation.
