It is good, esp considering an OLED panel. But OLED panel needs some precautions, so better avoid it for non-tech savvy people.

Simple laptop, good enough, better performance & battery life than Vivobook:

Precautions like?
Auto hide taskbar, preferably use screensaver & mainly make sure nothing static is displayed everyday for too long (like even desktop or logo of channels, etc). Can lead to burn in. OLEDs have become a lot better but still burn in risk is there. Heavy users on OLED TVs have got burn ins within 6 month using it for a windows PC.

Thanks for the info I'll give some reading on it.

Other than OLED, are there any particular brand that has better displays comparatively?

No

Nothing comes close to OLED, but for the target audience, I doubt they will appreciate it. So get one with normal IPS panel like that HP 14. It is just a 70% sRGB IPS panel, whereas OLEDs have like 130% sRGB coverage. For HDR, you need a LCD panel with 1000 local zones to come close to OLED in quality.

Budget bar raised to 65K...
OLED preferred as the usage is less and burn in shouldn't be an issue.
Considering vivobook pro OLED, any thoughts/suggestions on the same or any better alternatives?
