The lack of brightness is a problem for me personally. I had a G15 Zephyrus for a bit, and its screen was great (1440p 144hz IPS) except its brightness was low, which made it less than pleasant to use in a well-naturally-lit room even with the light being indirect. I ended up returning that laptop for other reasons (mainly, finicky GPU driver behavior and its nosiness compared to a desktop), but its screen’s brightness didn’t help matters. My X1 Nano and M1 Pro MBP are vastly better in those departments, hitting 450 and 500 nits brightness (with the larger going all the way to 1600nits for HDR content) which is usable in a much better range of environments. You’d have to be sitting in direct noon sunlight to really have a problem. I wish the minimum bar for screen brightness would increase, 200-300 nits really just doesn’t cut it with fewer of us working in artificially lit offices with almost no sunlight.
