I also wonder how it will fare in terms of burn-in. OLEDs are infamously susceptible to burn-in.

Yes, they are. But no one cares in the PC world.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43wnV-v7V0 Single OLED isn’t good enough long term. (Gamers will however claim it’s OK. 9 hours a day is 3285 hours in a year.

PC gamer here. I love my OLED tv but will never use one as a gaming monitor. They just suck at it. In a year you will get normal Apple users start showing us burn in on their Macs, and its not going to be a good look for Apple. I guess this is why they made the full lid of the laptop much easier to replace in this generation, they are going to need that when people start wanting their burn in fixed in a year or so.
