The primary failure by Asus was not offering an OLED display option. The Nebula display is good, but is still 'just' a mini-LED, which is inferior to OLED. Razer, Lenovo and HP all have an OLED panel as an optional upgrade and it's worth every penny. I bought a Omen Max16 (2025 model) for this very reason and it's absolutely an incredible gaming experience 👍🏻
The new Asus ROG Strix G16 is available with the RTX 5080 Laptop at most, but this won't much of a problem when gaming. The Strix G16 represents a good gaming package with a matte IPS display, a fast Core Ultra 9 275 HX, and very good maintenance options.
