Staples doesn't say anything about it. Only one user comment says so. Lenovo site shows IPS 300 nits for this model.

You used a bad link. Here's the link to this exact model.

This laptop should have IPS panel and 256GB SSD. You can upgrade SSD but can't display (easily).

Office Depot had (currently out of stock but has come in and out of stock) the Ryzen 5 version for $200 less: https://slickdeals.net/f/14130212-lenovo-ideapad-5-laptop-ryzen-5-4500u-15-6-1080p-8gb-ddr4-256gb-ssd-500-free-shipping

That has 8GB RAM (not upgradable, the OD description is wrong) and half the SSD (easy upgrade), but otherwise much better: faster, cooler-running 6-core Ryzen and 300-nit IPS display; better battery life. $200 less. I'd take that over this even if they cost the same. 8GB RAM is fine for 99% of users.
