Disagree on the oled thing. Oled is better in a lot of cases, specially if everything on the screen is constantly changing. However, for a computer that will be displaying the taskbar 70% of the time its not ok. Oled burn in is a thing

To quote Rtings:

under normal circumstances, with mixed usage, burn-in isn't an issue

Even if your task bar is on 70% of the time, you're not going to see any significant burn-in.

Auto hide the taskbar, burn your wallpaper instead. Oled burn is really is much less of an issue these days thanks to better panels and pixel shifting tech.
