If you're in the market for a laptop in 2024, you may want it to have an OLED display. OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology is gaining popularity in smartphones, televisions, and gaming devices. It uses organic molecules for light emission, unlike LEDs, which have semiconductors.
The primary advantage of OLED screens is that the brightness of each pixel is individually controlled. If a pixel is meant to display black, it will not be powered and thus not emit light, creating dark and authentic blacks.
Additional benefits of OLED displays include improved viewing angles, crisper images with vivid colors, and enhanced battery longevity. However, these displays are generally pricier, particularly those with superior resolution or quick refresh rates.

It is unique in that it sports one of the few touchscreen OLED displays on a laptop. The panel uses Gorilla Glass 3, which minimizes glare to a certain extent.

The ASUS Dial is a piece of hardware next to the trackpad that has different functionality depending on the software being used.

ASUS states that the screen has a brightness of 600 nits, but some YouTubers have mentioned that it exceeded this amount and even touched 1000 nits during their testing. This makes it an obvious pick for multimedia consumption and outdoor use.

Apart from this, the Lenovo TrueStrike keyboard has some of the best keys you can find on a laptop, and gamers will value its anti-ghosting and quick response time.
