QuoteThis screen is not only less bright, but it also has a horrible color gamut coverage as well as the other disadvantages of the LCD technology, like the lower contrast.
If your argument is that the OLED model is much better and only €100 more, then yes, that makes sense.
However, if the argument is that "this is bad, so avoid", then I have to ask where you're getting your requirements spec from? Most people aren't doing precision colour grading or artwork on their machines. I also suspect most people aren't quite so picky about onscreen brightness or contrast - we don't all wander around parks on bright sunny days trying to use our laptops.
Most laptops and monitors are still IPS LCD or similar tech, so if this laptop is roughly on par with those, it's fine, and yes, if you're going to need higher precision colour, or have OCD or the sensibilities of an audiophile (and yes, that was sarcasm, I have green markers for your CD collection... oh wait, you use vinyl records, right? with a tube amp?) then go for it. €100 really isn't that much.
But if you're a student, €900 vs €1000 means more textbooks or lunches.
Mind you, TBH, if you're a student (and not reflexively buying a MacBook Air like most American students do) then you probably don't really need a convertible or a Ryzen AI 7 CPU and can get by with a solid €500-€600 laptop with a more basic Ryzen 7 or Intel Core 7 CPU - or spend the €1000 on a midrange gaming laptop.

100€ is nothing compared to viewing a HORRIBLE screen daily for the next 4-5 years. And they do mention a horrible color gamut. It's not a matter of comparing it with an OLED. Colors will be washed out if the laptop lacks gamut range, no matter the display technology.
So yes, never cheap out on your business tool. Get it right first time or you will end up paying again.
OLED is a failed technology, with pwm flickering, burn-in, limited lifespan...etc
The larger and sometimes more numerous blue pixels in OLED screens are a direct response to the lower efficiency and shorter lifespan of blue-emitting OLED materials.
