Lenovo has the ThinkPad X13 Gen 2 with Ryzen 6 Pro 5850U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and 3-year warranty for $599.99. Lenovo part number is 20XHS06800.

This is an excellent enterprise-class ultraportable. A few weeks ago there was a Frontpage deal for an X13 Gen 2 for $50 less, but with Ryzen 5 instead of Ryzen 7, no backlit keyboard, and 720p instead of this model's 1080p webcam. This one also has a touchscreen.

The processor may be "two generations old" but it's a Zen 3 part and very capable. Many the "Ryzen 7000 series" on the market are actually based on Zen 3 (you can tell by the 3rd digit, e.g., 7730U, which is just a re-brand of this processor).

Note also that this is the Storm Greymodel, with aluminum instead of plastic top lid on the black model. The advantage is that it's less prone to smudges, disadvantage is that it's a bit heavier than the black model.

What will make this really slick is if you have the $100 of $500 Amex offer (personal cards) or 15% off (business).

Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 PRO 5850U Processor (1.90 GHz up to 4.40 GHz)
Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64
Graphic Card: Integrated AMD Radeon™ Graphics
Memory: 16 GB LPDDR4X-4266MHz (Soldered)
Storage: 512 GB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe TLC Opal
Display: 13.3" WUXGA (1920 x 1200), IPS, Anti-Glare, Touch, 72%NTSC, 300 nits, LED Backlight, Narrow Bezel
Camera: FHD IR/RGB Hybrid with Dual Array Microphone and Privacy Shutter
Fingerprint Reader: Fingerprint Reader
Pointing Device: ClickPad
Keyboard: Backlit, Grey - English (US)
WLAN: Wi-Fi 6 2x2 AX & Bluetooth® 5.1 or above
Warranty: 3 Years Courier or Carry-in

72% NTSC is about 100% sRGB. You are confusing it with 45% NTSC.
Looks like a decent laptop for the price. Can't find it on Psref though. How much does it weigh?

Nevermind, found the weight: 2.78lbs. Tempted to get this with the $100 Amex offer, but I already have a fast laptop and desktop, so trying to get something even lighter like the 2lbs X1 Nano that's on sale on eBay for $630-740. That one also has a 450 nit display vs the 300 nits on this one.
65w USB-C charging adapter. Its the same one that they have used for several years in their ultrabooks.

Only the gaming and workstation laptops (170w+) use square barrel connectors.

Just saying, supposedly you could replace the display with the WQXGA one for better color/contrast/res/brightness.

The WQXGA one costs < $70 on aliexpress, and the replacement is quite simply, especially that it's a business grade device with serviceability accounted in design, and there's official hardware maintenance manual with detailed graphs on how to replace any part for the laptop available to the public.

Actually i got one with this same model nearly new from local CL with broken screen for $100, then resurrected it within an hour of the replacement LCD panel came in. I put Spider5 on it with DisplayCal and it gave me like 94% sRGB coverage and 96% sRGB volume. Peak brightness was ~230nits. It could be this particular panel being inferior, but it does have Lenovo part number. The replacement panel i ordered was the FHD Touch one, but i'd imagine the 2K one would work in very similar way.

If you have amex, definitely check your offers! I had the Lenovo $100 off $500 purchase on every single card and 15% off on BBP.

If the black one is 2.78lb, how much heavier is the silver top one?

Notebook check lists these as all the screen options.
1920x1200 (WUXGA), 300 cd/m², matte, 72% NTSC
1920x1200 (WUXGA), 300 cd/m², matte, 72% NTSC, On-Cell Touch
1920x1200 (WUXGA), 500 cd/m², matte, 72% NTSC ePrivacy Filter
2560x1600 (WQXGA), 400 cd/m², matte, 72% NTSC, Low Power

Your colorimeter results have piqued my interests though.
