Edit: I saw the linked Latitude pamphlet. Hmm. So, Dell's marketing uses it. That's confusing. There should be some legal binding to this. Otherwise, it makes comparison a headache.
What does Dell advertise its desktop monitors then? WVA? Desktop monitors says IPS, not WVA: https://www.dell.com/en-us/lp/ips-monitors
Why the word salad mix up?

Any other Companies' developed similar technologies, like panels made by Samsung (PLS), AU Optronics (AHVA), can't use the term IPS Directly. And this is a well established fact for years, not just today and a lot of other companies like HP or Asus use similar terms like IPS Type display.

Source? I looked at the Costco Acer Vero (https://slickdeals.net/f/16573571-costco-acer-aspire-vero-14-laptop-12th-gen-intel-core-i5-1235u-1080p-windows-11-laptop-for-450) , and it says IPS. Uses Innolux (https://laptopmedia.com/review/ac...-av14-51/) , which clearly is not LG, and that description is IPS.
There's a notebookcheck review, but clearly it uses a different panel (267-292 nits). https://www.notebookche
Full size SD Card reader is a nice touch.
Bottom panel is mostly accessible.
RAM sticks are removable.
Wi-Fi Card is okay though needs an upgrade to an Intel card.

I think it's better without the touchscreen though it's unclear if this screen is glossy or matte. Most (if not all) touchscreens are glossy, which is annoying with reflections. Touchscreens add weight and reduce battery life.

LG apart from manufacturing panels, licese that to several vendors for manufacturing to meet the huge demand of panels and be present in different demograpghy.
In fact, the innolux Panel you're referring, that also has a name called "AAS" but it is based on LG's IPS technology.
Unlike the coomon conception that IPS is the name of the technology, it is just a marketing name used 1st by LG which represents a set of tecnologies for Display, enable it to provide Wide viewing angle, true 8 bit or higher color depth and higher color gamut volume than TN panels. It is similar to Apple's marketing term for Retina display which is just a marketing name for their devices panel with high pixel density.
Now different companies have developed their own set of technogies to achive the same goal but the IPS name is more comon and now used as a generic term. Samsung's PLS, AU Optronics AHVA, BOE's ADS all are equivalent to IPS and use their own implementation. If you want to use the name IPS, then you probably need to pay LG patent fees or use their technology to manufacture their panel.
In fact, the review you pointed out from Notebookcheck, which clearly mentioned this so called WVA panel for which you're having so hard time, as IPS.
The Dell model uses BOE NV14N42 Panel which BOE calls as ADS Screen. If you really want to know, below is the in-depth details of the ADS panel.

So technically, IPS screens not manufactured by LG should be labeled "IPS-like" as I found leaked slides here. Look at slide 5 where it says Azimuthal Anchoring Switch: https://www.slideshare.
There's been bait and switch in some reviews like the HP Aero 13 where the chasis returned to plastic instead of some Magnesium alloy that was passed along to influencers.

That review measures a panel higher than 250 nits. Is a 250 nits panel rated exactly max then or what am I missing for the computer you posted?

And regarding Aero 13, it is magnesium alloy alright. Unlike Aluminum, Magnesium Alloy is softer in touch and gives a bit plasticky feeling which a lot of reviewers, without experience of such chassis, considered as plastic. However, magnesium alloy is much durable that alluminum alloy and doesn't bend or scratch as quickly as Aluminum
I've been looking at a bunch of Ryzen computers for over an year now, but they've been all so disappointing from the AMD side of things.
This one is close, but I'd prefer to have AV1 decoding support. It looks good for everything else though. Maybe another nvme slot for a second SSD would make it better, but this one only has one.
Seems weird none of Dell's business mid/upper class notebooks have AMD APUs.
I also wanted that computer, but the hard to tear maintenance hatch and sudden temperature spikes to 100 degrees Celsius + expanding swollen batteries scared me away.

I read in some places where they got a plastic build instead of Magnesium Alloy. Just seems disappointing to see something that was advertised not to be it.

And regarding reviews, try to check proper reviews from reputed sites like Notebookcheck.net, Ultrabookreview, Jarrod's Tech, Mobiletechreview, Matthew Moniz, Hardware Canucks etc.
