Nits relate to the screen brightness. From what I've read, 300 nits is probably the lowest to be considered good.
250 nits is a bit too dark for viewing in sunlight, in my opinion. The glare will surely get in your way. That being said, I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker. All my previous laptops have been around 250 nits.

FYI- It has 1 upgradable slot (other is 8gb soldered), making the max allowed ram to be 24gb

Can you explain this? I'm trying to find a laptop for general use. Mostly photo storage, access, editing, office type stuff, etc. This was one I'm looking at.

Just FYI the screen is anti-glare not glossy. Anti-glare will still be better in poor lighting conditions over a higher nits glossy screen for the vast majority of situations.

You definitely notice the difference between, say, 300 nits and 250 nits, with the former obviously being more desirable. However, it is not like 250 nits makes the screen unusable, especially in most indoor settings.

Our household has a couple of laptops with 250 nits screens (as well as one with 300 nits), and 250 is fine.

In a direct sunlight, even screens with much higher brightness ratings would have a hard time. I have a phone with an almost 600 nits OLED screen, and it still gets defeated outdoors on a bright sunny day.

I would say most people use the laptop as a desktop nowadays. Take to office or take home.
I am not seeing the 250nit is a deal breaker at all.
