  I’m not going to list them all. But the most important items are significant battery life improvement through both a larger battery and more efficient processor, slight increase in performance due to faster RAM, 90Hz vs. 60, and significantly brighter screen for outdoor use.

    And most of these won’t make a difference for most people.
    With the current promo the OLED is almost twice the price.

    A little better screen and battery are nice, but performance is basically the same, it’s within an error margin most of the time.
    And 90Hz screen doesn’t matter that much when 40FPS limit is preferable most of the time to keep the frametimes stable.

      Those will make a huge difference for most people…

      They are not a little better, they are both a lot better.

      And 90Hz screen doesn’t matter that much when 40FPS limit is preferable most of the time to keep the frametimes stable.

      That depends entirely on what games you’re running. Most of the games I play will easily run at locked 90FPS.
