The OLED isn't the highest quality I've seen, it looked grainy to me and if you look online people will talk about it. The argument is always "it's not THAT noticeable" but at $1k+ you're still getting the lowest quality OLED they can find and it really ruins the display to see grain uniformly everywhere.
Second thing and the main reason I returned it, there were some critical software that just simply could not run on it. There was no ARM windows version of it and it made it not useful to have this. The most common complaint is exactly how it can't run some critical software, I thought it would be like Mac where it would just run but translated, it refuses to run it.
Finally it's just not that powerful. The jump from intel to M1 was substantial and a huge upgrade but this doesn't feel that much more powerful than the intel version, the battery is a bit better but not like night and day.
Overall I'd give this a 5/10, it's just too expensive even on sale to have a low quality display, might not run things you need it to, and isn't really that much more powerful
We have deployed these and the 13.8" Surface laptops to our traveling teams at our company, which has 6000 people.
Everyone loves the screen as it's an upgrade vs non-OLED. If you are a true OLED nerd, maybe it is not up to snuff, but the majority would love the screen.
The battery life with the Snapdragon chip has been amazing, which is why we rolled it out to our traveling staff. They are so happy they can go all day without carrying their charger.
Initially, we had a print driver issue, but Canon and Ricoh have rectified the issue, so we are able to use them 100%.
I dont travel much and I even got the laptop version since Its such a premium laptop (without comparing Apple laptops as I dont use those).
The main complaint has been with our older staff who find the screen too small and want to swap out for the laptop. Also, not sure if this is the Bluetooth keyboard, but that one makes it so nice since you can detach the keyboard and still use it without having it attached to the device. Its nice it also charges the pen.
For $1000, I think it's a great deal and it's the more powerful Snapdragon, which runs applications smoothly.
I paid $999 for the Surface laptop with 512 GB SSD for my 2 kids, but I would have gone with this. My kids love their laptops, and 1 is in college and has not had any issues.

It's unintentionally been fantastic for YouTube viewing and the speakers are absolutely amazing given there are only 2/the size of the thing.
If you have the right use case, it's not a bad machine though $1k is maybe a little high.
Let me tell you - even an 8GB Surface Pro 7+ that I currently daily-drive works almost flawlessly thanks to pagefile regardless of how many dozens of Chrome tabs I have running. It's the perfect YouTube machine (with crappy battery life)!
That said, I've been super hesitant to jump on the Snapdragon bandwagon. I just don't want any potential compatibility issues etc. etc. What I really want is the Lunar Lake version of this thing, but for $1k! Instant buy! A guy can dream...

If the mura issue bothers you, okay it's not for you, but most people don't even notice it. It's objectively wrong to say it's a low quality OLED.

I also own the ipad pro 13 M5, and while that screen is objectively better, i find myself reaching for this on the road simply because of the keyboard. Don't take your advice from keyboard warriors who don't own a Surface, or have watched a youtube video about the tragedy of this or that specification. This is a great deal on a great piece of hardware that will serve you well.

If you play games, it will lack support for many games, performance is worse than 5 year old Intel laptop with integrated ARC graphics and the driver updates from Qualcomm is terrible. Even running 15 year old games like Starcraft 2 at low settings turns into a slide show when there's a lot of units on screen.
Also, I have an issue with old Canon printers that refuse to work. Canon will not update drivers for 10+ year old printers. I ended up buying a new printer so it will work. I also have issues with connection to my car for car tuning software. It requires specific drivers and they do not make it for anything other than x86. I ended up buying a cheap x86 laptop to do that task.
