Quote from The_Love_Spud :
As much as I'd prefer touchscreen, the complaints about grainy OLED touchscreens are numerous. My first-gen Samsung Galaxy Chromebook doesn't appear to suffer from the graininess, but I DO have numerous settings tweaked to manage the crushed blacks. Though 4k video looks GREAT the setup isn't anything I'd recommend for a for a primary/daily driver (I use it instead as a compliment to my other devices). I can't say if all the forced dark mode tweaking helps me avoid seeing the grain effect (but I also despite default white screens in general). Those same tweaks, for the record, also render some sites unusable in Chrome (so I have alternate browsers installed for sites like Stride Rite, which don't take well to being forced to a dark theme.

And just to describe one bug I have to work around, the colors look beautiful except when the YouTube UI pops up which temporarily shifts everything until I can make the UI disappear.

Were I buying for someone else (e.g. - my sister, who loves OLED color) I'd likely default to buying a non-touch model (especially knowing that she's not a touchscreen fanatic as is the case with me). If I personally buy an OLED with touchscreen I'd likely skip the ASUS in favor of something like a premium HP Spectre or Envy model in the hopes that I might have access to all the necessary tweaks to manage issues specific to daily driving an OLED display. Another option for me personally would be sticking to a Samsung device... despite the many gripes about screen cracking. (Again, something I'd risk personally but wouldn't want to potentially curse anyone else)

In the meantime, I'm sticking to an older, non-OLED, 6th generation CPU Spectre hoping that before the Windows 10 updates run out a killer OLED-touch equipped replacement arrives that mitigates some of these issues.

Good luck!

Firefox has an addon, Dark Reader, that allows for website specific dark mode. It's fantastic.

I purchased the zenbook 14x in December as well. I got used to the graininess of the display and now don't notice it. The colors look fantastic but I haven't compared it to a similar display.

I keep the fan profile to whisper setting & the fan runs quietly. It doesn't seem to get that warm, I feel it a bit from time to time but it being winter here, is a plus for now. Battery life is meh with light usage (multiple Firefox tabs & YouTube videos, excel & word). It's what's making me consider this HP with ryzen 7840.

What's really annoying me are the bottom firing speakers. Unless the laptop is on a flat surface to reflect sound off from, it sounds bass heavy, muddled, & lacking treble. Once it's on a flat surface, the speakers sound great. So sitting on the sofa with the laptop in lap, have to find a way to get the sound to reflect off... Sigh.

Have till January 13th to consider return...
I agree about the downward firing speakers! It really doesn't make much sense. This HP has the same affliction, but the sound quality falloff didn't seem as drastic as the ASUS when resting on a soft (sound absorbing) surface. Full disclosure, I'm comparing this HP display with the M3 Macbook Pro 14" with the miniLED. The HP holds its own against that display as well. The Apple's construction quality is higher and the sound is far superior with its upward firing speakers. But this is not surprising given the substantially higher cost. The take home message here is the HP has a very nice looking display.

Sounds like a solid option for Firefox on Windows.

Good luck!

I can confirm that Fedora 39 Linux runs like a dream on this laptop.

I use the internet in High Contrast Black mode (black background / text in light colors) and the only web browser that fully gives me this color mode function is the old Firefox Ver 68, but it does not give a lot of website function.

Do you know of any other that is more modern?

You can force Chrome to do this using some Chrome OS specific flags (but this breaks a lot of sites). The only other browser I regularly use in this way is the Android Samsung Internet browser.

Good luck!

Haven't heard of anyone opening the laptop screen and it immediately falls off. If it does for you, then just return it.

It's also on Chrome, I've been using it for years on both Windows and Linux systems. Highly recommend if you hate black text on white backgrounds.

How good is the 780M integrated graphics? Is it a nice boost over the Vega or Intel's Iris xe?

Can anyone comment on fan noise on these?
I think there's like 4 speeds for it. Off, Tolerable, Annoying, and Obnoxious. There isn't a setting to control fan profiles in Windows or the HP software (maybe I'm blind to it.)

The heating solution is weak on this laptop (a corner they cut). Basic browsing with the fan off causes the 7840u to gain about 1 degree every 5 seconds. The fan then triggers at 50C I believe, which cools it down to 40C. This rinses and repeats. So every 2 minutes or so you go from a silent laptop, to an audible fan laptop. You can kinda deal with this on/off behavior by just setting the fan to always on in BIOS.

Also someone mentioned on the BF thread that the default power plan is messed up at plugged in which sets minimum processor state to 80%.

My fan behavior is like yours. But not sure if I had a tad. The loudness of the fan is not too bad but the fan produces a high pitch whistle sound no matter how fast the fan spins. I think it is at the air intake at the bottom since when I put a tape near the fan at the bottom intake it reduces the whistle sounds.

LPDDR5x

Is always non-upgradable.

Unless you have impressive soldering skills.

No Thunderbolt is a shame. Gonna wait for more models with Intel's Meteor Lake processors.
