Is PWM flickering happening at 1,3Hz or 1,3KHz?

I have last year's version, with difference being last year's processor and Intel Arc GPU, with a price that is around USD 700 cheaper. The upgrade certainly is not worth an extra USD 700.

Prices in this AI fueled era would be ridiculous. 32GB RAM price wont be cheap and neither is dGPU. I dont think Windows laptop compete that well against Mac these days.

how can a 1k+ hz pwm be considered a cons, if the average premium oled laptop is 480hz?

Take a look at the amplitude, it's 41%. This is way worse than Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition's. The fact that it starts it's pwm at 95% or below isn't a good sign either.

Ideally you want as low amplitude as possible and the pwm to not be there the entire brightness range, so like start at below 70% brightness setting.
