habermas I wonder what competitive edge HP imagines themselves to have with this product against the MacBook Neo given that they recycle their cheap junk WUXGA screens with 300 nits brightness at the price point that is similar to the MacBook Neo, which offers 2408×1506 resolution at 500 nits brightness. In this day and age display panels are the one thing still actually going down in price so the "genius" in HP that decided to cut corners on the screen actually missed the one chance they had to actually surpass the MacBook Neo without compromising the price point significantly. The advantages offered by OLED over IPS are insignificant at 300 nits brightness. Unlike with IPS, you still have the screen burn-in factor to contend with however. Reply

Yes, but they made up for that "cheapiness" by including a super generous 256 GB SSD!! /s Reply
