There are also many people who want a great portable laptop with a quality matte finish! IPS/LTPS screen with at least 400 nits of brightness. But a lot of manufacturers save money and sell their glossy screen (and often OLED, which burns out and very often has PWM).
Something tells me that when it comes to working on the street, especially on a sunny day, less than 700 nits can not be considered at all (and preferably from 1000). Otherwise, it seems to me that most portable laptops are not needed at all. Laptops are most often bought (or issued at work as a worker in the office) home (with very rare use outside the home) and therefore complete silence is much more important for people with a core load of up to 25-30% on average (and core temperatures are not higher than 75C) than weight, autonomy and screen brightness. I am personally at home and 250 nits is excessive, since under normal lighting, even on a sunny day, 100-140 nits is enough for me in rooms, i.e. 300 nits is more than enough with a margin, I will never work at such a brightness.
The laptop is convenient in that it is easy to transfer it from the desktop to the sofa, for example (and when it needs to be moved to another place) and sit reclining behind it, which is impossible to do with a stationary PC, although it wins otherwise unequivocally both in price / speed and in noise (at times even under 100% load). Well, in general, laptops rule just like complete solutions. For example, on a PC, you need to specifically have external speakers, but here they are built-in and cameras are built-in and microphones. Therefore, people have practically stopped buying PCs at home (and it makes sense to buy them only by assembling them with your own hands, and not ready-made stupid solutions with a priori overpriced).
In general, it's annoying that there are such good models like the Legion 7, of which one could make a working laptop, simply by cutting out an extra GPU from it and removing the stupid backlight for children. There would be a normal home laptop for all occasions, except for games. Many do not play at all, but are forced into the load for the sake of 2 memory slots, two m.2, a good fast screen for work, a good set of ports (moreover, in the back, including the power plug, and not randomly on the side), a good full-fledged keyboard and a high-quality cooling system buy "game" models for nothing overpaying for a discrete GPU that they don't need.
What does Lenovo cost to make a multimedia-working version of Legion 7 without a discrete gpu and sell it much cheaper? This will increase demand by orders of magnitude. But their Thinkbook/Thinkpad series, with its limitations and prices, goes to hell.
