It has an OLED screen so image quality isn’t even comparable. It is worse in terms of glare but not unusable and I don’t use it outside much

Which $600 model has an OLED screen?

This one is very similar. I bought mine from Thailand

This has a WXUGA display, i.e. 1920x1200. It’s not comparable to the high DPI display on the MacBook Pro.

What specifically isn't comparable?

Comparable. Things you can't compare between two laptop screens.

One quite nice display is the 2880 x 1800 16" OLED on the Samsung Galaxy Book series --- I kind of miss it when using my MacBook Pro.

Sure, Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on nice displays, but they’ll sell you a laptop with a high DPI display for $1000. It’s hard to get a laptop with a comparable display for much less. And if you save any money you’ll pay for it in performance and build quality.

> 16" WUXGA IPS Anti-Glare Display

> $689.99

That computer has neither an OLED display nor a price of $600.
