Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 laptop review: Eye-catcher

[S.Yu]

@S. Yu:
"80% ARGB means it's one of the worst OLEDs on the market"

To be clear, this is the same 2020 Samsung OLED panel being used on every high-end laptop like XPS 15, X1 Extreme, etc. OLED has slight color accuracy shifting when changing brightness, so 80% ARGB is not really a fixed value.
HP also has 2 other non-touch screens that can be "better", depending on what you need, but I mostly wanted touch,
- 4K UHD "DreamColor" 600nit 100% ARGB Matte IPS
- 2K FHD "SureView" 1000nit 70% ARGB Matte IPS

I have yet to see a better touchscreen than this on a high-end performance laptop. So if you find a Ryzen 5000H + RTX 3000 laptop with a better screen, then please, do let me know :)

Zephyrus Duo 15 SE looks very appealing, and almost 2x$ as laptops of similar specs. Good for you if you can afford one.

I haven't been keeping close track but IIRC the second worst I've seen was 85% and the rest are >88%, I have no impression of the size or other specs though.
The review for the Duo is out and a guy noted the 3080 underperforming compared to the Blade 17 while drawing similar wattage so it's not a cooling issue, so there's more digging to do.

Is this laptop capable of g-sync when using an external display (via USB-C DisplayPort alt mode)?

Were the GPU tests (timespy, gaming benchmarks) performed on the internal display or on an external monitor? It seems optimus limits performance when using the notebook display.
