Its an IPS Display; ~300 NITS from various reviews.
The ebay store is notorious for selling dented, scratched units with mediocre battery. Do not expect pristine condition refurbished units as you would usually get in from manufacturers.
I bought Acer Nitro 5 from them, and the battery turned out to be faulty. It was a little over the return window, they wouldn't honor it. Not to mention the unit was noticeably used and scratched

Their review at least does some sort of battery test vs ultrabookreview seems to be kind of speculating
A deal breaker for me is from a couple of reviews on Costco.com about the fan noise on this Acer. I was given an HP Elitebook laptop for work and the fan used to make high pitch noise so bad that I refused to use it and used my own personal laptop instead, After some windows or firmware update some months later the HP laptop fan rarely comes on any more and I am using it right now.
Alder Lake's frequency sweet spot is 4GHz for the big cores, and 3GHz for the small cores. Any higher frequency will improve performance at the cost of much higher energy (20% perfomrance boost with 80% more energy). [Source [chipsandcheese.com]]
You should limit the big core to 4GHz and the small cores to 3GHz, your PC will perform 20% slower (but a lot of task are not CPU bound, many are disk bound which won't be affected), but it will be 40% cooler. You can also make different power profiles and switch between them if you need to.

IIRC Costco is really friendly with returns, as long as you kept it in nice condition.
It checks most boxes for a good everyday machine
- Good display (would have preferred 15.6 though)
- 16gb RAM
- Great processor (12 cores is crazy)
- Good build quality
Also has very decent reviews. I would rather a laptop be loud rather than overheat Hopefully though the noise is not too bad.
I purchased the $300 Asus laptop from office depot deal last week but the screen,RAM and USB C charging port on this are worth the extra $100 . Good find OP
Mind suggesting a few other tests that you intend to cover?
