No I haven't! I have access to a screen calibration tool at my wife's work and it's still color accurate with the original provided profile from Asus which is selected in the display settings by default. I use this machine since May 23. 2022. I never used it in HDR mode which is actually an option with this screen it provides around 400nits max brightness without HDR and a peak of around 620nits with HDR on. I don't know in which way HDR would affect color degradation of the OLED Screen because of the higher brightness. Only thing I know is that it's an quality panel from Samsung which looks fantastic for YouTube, Netflix, Photoshop and More. To be clear I'm not an OLED expert and I only share my personal experience. But my honest opinion is that if you don't need it for mission critical work or for anything that needs 100% color correctness (e.g. for client work in the Fashion industry) it's a really compelling option. Especially because of its portability. There are lighter or thinner laptops but they either lack in power, I/O selection or battery life. There are reviews of the Intel Model UX3402 which is the twin with Intel CPU and every reviewer lists the screen as the biggest pro. In the end you have to decide which you think is the right laptop but so far not many people replied... I would be interested which laptop the person who commented on my post would recommend......

Check out ASUS's ZenBook 14 OLED UM3402 with the Ryzen 5825U and 16Gb Ram. There is a 1Tb version with touchscreen and pen support and a 512Gb version without touchscreen. I know you asked for a 15" screen specifically but 14" isn't that far off. There is also an Intel 12th gen version called UX3402 with either i5 1240P or i7 1260P these have Thunderbolt 4. Reasons I would consider the AMD version (I own one for myself by the way): - Color accurate 2.8K OLED screen, pre calibrated and Pantone-Validated with 102% DCI-P3, 133% sRGB and 90% Adobe-RGB color gammuts. Delta E < 2 and 90Hz Refresh rate. A truly impressive Panel for creative work. - very good battery life: around 10Hrs with Brightness on 50% 60Hz Refresh rate and Balanced Performance setting. Tested with mix of combined Photoshop tasks, browsing, libreoffice and Netflix. - only 1.7cm thick and 1.38Kg in weight. Elegant design in Black with very subtle branding, Carrying Pouch included - decent IO if you don't need Thunderbolt: 1x USB Type A 10Gb/s 2x USB Type C 10Gb/s with Displayport 1.4 and Power-delivery. (Most thunderbolt docks work with these ports too but keep in mind the lower bandwidth) Micro SD Reader HDMI 2.0 Headphone-Microphone Combo jack. -RAM is Fast but soldered -SSD is standard 2280 M.2 but only PCIe gen3 -Wifi module is 811.2AX Wifi 6E and upgradable (I would consider changing it for an Intel module if you want to use Linux) - excellent Keyboard with 3-stage white Backlight and 1.4mm travel - Touchpad large and with integrated num-pad I use the Adobe Creative cloud and especially Photoshop and Lightroom quiet a lot and for me the performance is totally adequate. (Hobby Photographer) Drawbacks: -Graphics performance is not as good as Intel Model or Ryzen 6000 - no Thunderbolt - fan noise clearly audible in performance mode (plugged into Wallpower) - glossy screen even on non touchscreen model Price: I can only tell Prices for Germany but ASUS asks for 1199€ MSRP on they're website for the non touchscreen 16Gb Ram 512Gb SSD Model. There was a deal on NBB(Notebooksbilliger.de) for 999€ and I bought a WD Red SN700 1TB M.2 for the price difference to replace the Intel 760p 512Gb originally installed. I've seen videos of reviewers in the Asian marked that had an USB type A to Gigabit Ethernet adapter included. In Germany that is not the case. Don't know about other markets. overall I really like this machine and it fits my needs perfectly. if you don't need the extra 1" I would highly recommend checking it out. best regards, Philipp

I have considered these, the 14" with the 6000 series is a very nice machine but unfortunately it's (as ist predecessor) not available in Germany or just very poorly. Even the 5000 series took forever to launch and when available there are only the lower spec models

Hi, I have usually used my PC which I thought was my dream machine for everything from Gaming to photo editing and I was really happy until recently I had a lot more photo-shootings and was forced to stay away from home for a longer period of time. Also I don't do much gaming in the last couple of months. The Games I play and might want to keep playing are all of the Tomb Raider's, NFS Heat, Titanfall 2, Skyrim (with only a few Mods) and older stuff like NFSU2. to be clear gaming is not a must! Dual boot with Ubuntu Studio or Endeavour OS is basically a must for me. Prioritys are: -a nice display with a good color accuracy and either 100% DCI-P3 or 100% Adobe-RGB -a fast processor either Intel or AMD no ARM-stuff -32GB of RAM(if soldered) or 16GB if the laptop is upgrade friendly. -portable and not too heavy -backlit Keyboard -(fast) SD Card Reader would be preferred Price Range up to 1700EUR. Unfortunately as much as I love my Surface Go 2 it's simply too slow and the display is in some cases a bit small for serious work. My plan is to sell my setup and maybe my Surface Go and get a Laptop. Any suggestions for what to buy? thanks Philipp

My company used 10 of these for passively cooled PCs all around the workshop with coffee lake Celerons, they're just perfect lots of USB 2.0 native Com port and m.2 for boot drive, and as I said moisture proof coating which is super nice because ofrapidly changing temperatures in the winter months!

Amazon Germany for 90€ https://www.amazon.de/Prime-H310M-C-Mainboard-Gigabit-LAN-Sound/dp/B07L4JQZHV

https://www.asus.com/de/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/PRIME/PRIME-H310M-C-R2-0-CSM/ still a good option and has a com port directly on the I/O as well as the option to add another later. Plus it's moisture proof coated and for industrial operation tested.

Maybe the RAM is overkill but I got it for cheap too. It's mainly my foto and video grave. Since my wife had a lot of foto shootings in the last year and I start to do a lot of shootings myself we ran into a little bit of a storage issue with all of the RAW images .

Thank you for your quick response! Don't get me wrong it's fantastic if this thing is so power saving. I just thought this was a bit too low. I got this CPU on ebay for 15 bucks and want to pair it with 16gb of RAM and my hopes are it manages my 16TB of Drives just fine.

Hi, I was building a NAS out of old parts recently and while testing components I noticed something a little weird. The Kaby Lake Pentium G4600 is drawing only 18W maximum when hit with prime95 stresstest, CPU usage is 100%, clock speed is 3600Mhz, everything normal so far. I also hit it simultaneously with furmark to stress the iGPU but max power draw only rose to 21W. Is this normal behavior? It seems so low to me. I used a Arctic freezer 34 CPU cooler and the max temp was 41°C. I just wonder if this is to be expected or if something is faulty. Haven't worked on Intel systems in 10 years. Thx Philipp

I have somewhat the "same" Setup and the green actually looks quiet nice IMO. Anyway you can flash the Bios of an EVGA Card to it (like I did with my 2060Super) and change the color

That is not what I hoped for ....

Hi, I'm Philipp and i've bought an refurbished Dell Latitude XT3, only problem so far .....someone painted it in black with Hammerite ore something and the Company that sold this Laptop didn't noticed it. Some ideas how to remove this stuff without damaging tue palmrest, the Aluminium or the touchpad ? Thanx for Answers and sorry for my maybe bad english, Philipp
