Tech Specs on ASUS site:


3.2K (3200 x 2000) OLED 16:10 aspect ratio
120Hz refresh rate
600 nits HDR peak brightness



Many SD Laptop Deals have 300 nits brightness

No it's not
Incorrect. If you look at the Asus site you'll clearly see that it's the 285H for model S5606CA. It's the S5606MA model that has the 185H.

These processors are completely different generations not just just 7 vs 9. If you want good battery life, go with the lunar lake processor in the Lenovo.

Soldered 16gb in the year of 2025 makes this a complete nonstarter

I guess you won't be buying the vast majority of laptops in 2025 since almost all companies are going to soldered.
