The Display actually goes brighter than 300 nits, around 330-340 nits.
During normal operation, this laptop is very silent with the fans hardly spinning.
In Short term workloads, it is very powerful, almost beating the 2021 XPS 15 with i7-11800H and 45W RTX 3050 Ti, due to efficiency of the Ryzen Processors.
Acer has released a Firmware Upgrade which enabled the CPU to consume around 35 to 37W sustained power during CPU only workload. Previously it was only 25 to 28 Watt.
Despite having powerful hardware and a small battery, the battery life is actually amazing, 8 Hrs+ with normal usage.
Apart from OLED panels, all the non gaming laptops with IPS panel, have very slow response time, including the highest end ones, like Dell XPS 15. Never heard people saying they are affected by slower response time when watching video.

Only nitpick is the lack of touchscreen, but that's purely subjective. I'll drool over it (more than I already am) if it did have it.

Given the more capable screen (i.e. 16:10, higher resolution, & touchscreen capability)?

To answer your question, we need to know what are your use cases and "Non-Gaming Usage" won't help. That GPU can help in lot of cases like Video editing, Video encoding, GPU accelerated programming, 3D works and designing etc. So, if those are your use cases, you should consider these.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a general office work laptop for mainly basic works, watching movies, good battery life then the Lenovo one is a good choice. That has a higher resolution 16:10 screen, very good build quality for the price, decent battery life.
