In general, this is not a problem. The series only supports 240Hz officially, without checking, it's not clear if the BIOS will support brightness control on 165Hz panels. But finding a 16" matrix with 100% DCI-P3 and higher on panelook and other models from other manufacturers is not a problem. The problem is with accurate calibration under sRGB - otherwise everything will be oversaturated.
Unfortunately, Intel/NVidia do not have a built-in sRGB auto-calibrator based on the panel's EDID data. AMD has had it for over 15 years, but L7Pro doesn't even have AMD specs yet, only Chinese versions sell them. Actually, they are better, because AMD HX series processors are much faster and cooler. But at rest, as the owners are already reporting, there are huge problems with power management in both series - consumption is clearly increased, even worse on AMD, despite the fact that under load they are much colder and faster at the same time by 30%.
So if you change the panel to 100% + DCI-P3 240Hz (or 165Hz if brightness control works), then it's better with the AMD version, not Intel, otherwise most software will have problems with poisonous, oversaturated colors.
Unfortunately, Windows still cannot work with EDID and cannot auto-calibrate any panel (like the AMD driver) to sRGB/Rec.709(SDR) when viewing photo/video content in sRGB/Rec.709 is required.
If you try to make a replacement, it's better in a place where a panel replacement service is available right in front of you, it will be possible, together with the master, to pre-connect a new panel, instead of the native one, without pulling out the native one from the screen cover and decide whether the color rendition suits you and whether it is possible to set everything to sRGB.
In general, AdobeRGB 95%+ and parallel 95% DCI-P3 coverage produce extremely impressive colors in content designed for such a wide color space, but in day-to-day work, exact sRGB matching is more important. Apparently Lenovo doesn't want to mess around with wide gamut panels. it requires a special utility that works in the background (as a resident) that will allow you to easily switch all Windows windows at the discretion of the owner to sRGB mode or native wide gamut. Apparently they are not able to write a high-quality utility for managing the color space in Windows on the fly, otherwise they installed more expensive and high-quality panels, because their price is so much different from the current options, especially against the backdrop of the monstrous price of a laptop.
