I use a T495s with the 400-nit low power display and it is by far the best screen I've ever seen on a laptop. I have no idea what you're talking about; of course, if you go with the 1366x768 screen that Lenovo seems to continue to offer inexplicably, you're shafted, but the 1920x1080 400-nit screen is incredible. It's matte, thin, extremely low power (powertop tells me it's under 1W right now at 30% brightness, which is already too bright for a well-lit root), and is easily replaceable. And it's not touch either, which is an advantage in my book.
It is. I never hear the fan running. But annoyingly, they've put the fan vent on the right side of the machine, so every now and then I can feel the hot air from the vent when my mouse is close to it, but I never hear it. Even in the quietest environments.
I have the Ryzen 5 PRO 3500U (4c8t) with integrated Vega 8. I haven't done any under/overclocking or anything special, it's a pretty vanilla machine. I've only swapped out the NVMe drive it came with for a Samsung one.
