Laptop Advice Request

Buying Advice

I've been out of PC gaming for a bit and I'm looking at purchasing a gaming laptop.

I picked up this one on black Friday sale for $1199.

https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-tuf-gaming-a16-16-fhd-165hz-gaming-laptop-amd-ryzen-9-32gb-ram-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-1tb-ssd-jaegar-gray/JJGGLH8Y2Z/sku/6617666?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page

I've been wondering if I would prefer something with OLED instead of IPS. So I've been looking at options in the $2000 or less range. Looking to stick with a 5070 or 5070ti (seems to not be viable at that price range) and 32gb of ram.

Was looking at this as an alternative: https://www.bestbuy.com/product/hp-omen-transcend-14-120hz-3k-oled-gaming-laptop-intel-core-ultra-9-285h-32gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-1tb-ssd-shadow-black/JJGQJHJSQQ/sku/6618921?sb_share_source=PDP&ref=app_pdp&loc=pdp_page

But I am wary about HP vs Asus.

Any thoughts or advice?
