Quote from: dumb_oems on Yesterday at 18:30:51I don't want to buy a new laptop every 2-3 years or worry that my taskbar or tab bar is static - which it is a lot of the time.

I think this may have been a problem with earlier oled displays but is largely mitigated now through modern software improvements (e.g. moving/shifting pixels every now and then and screen savers). You have to like run display running permanently a fixed picture 24/7 365 for years with all safety features disabled for this to happen.
This. And... at max brightness! I doubt that many people will run this all the time at 100%, so 500 nits (well, 504.6). Tone that down to normal 170-250 when indoors and there is no fear of burn in any time soon.

Same thing for TVs and phones. Soon I don't think people are going to have much choice, whether they like it or not. It's going to be all OLED once pricing goes down and even budget models adopt the technology. At that stage it'll be difficult to get any IPS eventually the way we're headed.

Nothing comes close to the low latency response time either, besides CRTs and plasma but doubtful they're making a resurgence anytime soon.

The headaches suck. But my eyes have largely adapted to it and in any case, I've just gotten around it by limiting my exposure. And touching grass more often. After all, I doubt an opthalmologist would recommend long term prolonged exposure with any display technology. Humans just weren't biological wired to be used that way.

Also the price is so ridiculous for this configuration, it makes Apple surcharges for storage and memory look cheap. 3600k EUR? lol. let it sh1te sit on the storeshelves.

It looks like they maybe finally solved the screen door effect on OLED touchscreens? Is anybody able to confirm that the screen doesn't have a visible grainy layer on it? Hard to tell from photos.

@oem_smart

I would just be happy with a high-res reasonable low latency high brightness (>550 nits) IPS screen without PWM.

No flickering headaches & eyestrain, no burn-ins, very little other degradation (e.g. to brightness) over time.

the screen is like a mirror, totally useless. why is this not in the cons!??
but yeah, again "soldered RAM" since 5 years everything is soldered, why you even mention this!
how about "no usb-c port on the right side" !?
almost 4000 bucks, noone in their right mind will buy this

@dumb_oems, do you've a suggestion though of an alternative? It's easy to hate on oled and it definitely has flaws but let's face it before oled there were minimal improvements to LCD display tech, whether it be contrast, brightness or gamut accuracy.

MiniLED has pwm too and has its own issues.

I feel like the degradation issue is overblown too. Yes, they degrade but guess what? My 13 year LCD does too. All displays degrade over time. That's why people upgrade every several years.

I'm using GalaxyBook myself, but Macbooks now are objectively better in every way AND cheaper! What's wrong with windows laptops?! They are like "RAM is now 100$ more expensive, so you understand we need to bump the laptop prices by 500$".. And Apple releases 600$ laptop that even runs windows better than any windows laptop..

Yeah great - OLED panels suck, especially the ones with low frequency and high amplitude flickering.

I am so tired of this OLED stuff and the negative health impact, burn in issues, degradation...

These OEMs are so dumb that they don't offer other options, I would never buy such a screen ever.

Screen cracking issue?

The quiet profile seems to castrate GPU performance for CPU. I wonder if there's a way to swap that so it's 45W TGP and 22W TDP instead.

This notebook seems almost as efficient halo. Struggling to see the point of it anymore besides AI. Oh, I guess halo notebooks run generally slightly cooler but in terms of wattage and noise...almost similar.

It's also quite depressing how on a $4000 laptop we still don't have SD Express card reader but on a $400 switch 2 we do.

I kind of wish NBC did the gaming benchmarks @ 40 dB (aka more balanced / optimized profiles rather than max turbo). Does anyone actually game at full throttle with 50+ dB? But then again I guess it'd complicate things further as everyone OEM has their own definition and power limits of what is "balance/optimized"..

Samsung's new Galaxy Book6 Ultra is a powerful 16-inch multimedia laptop with an amazing OLED screen, Panther Lake processor and GeForce RTX 5070. There are also many similarities with the Apple MacBook Pro 16, but is it enough to beat Apple's machine?
