Yeah it's going to be exclusively indoor use and somewhat unpleasant for anything dark in a well let room.
There were definitely quite a few deals over the last 3 months in the 450 - 600 range with much better screens and overall specs, as this is also a 12th gen intel. For $599, here's one that outclasses it in every way:

As for brightness, I have used as low as 250 nit screens in full lit room with no issues. 300 nit is more than good enough.
$600 is a full 20% more than 500. There are people on a strict budget. You can't compare 600 to 500.

I also agree with superslickz re: IPS screen on laptop. Cheaper laptops with TN panel usually has washed out color with blue (cooler) overall temp, very unpleasant to look at. I also agree in regards to brightness. To my sensitive eyes, 250 nits is enough for indoor work-related use. But, probably so-so if the intended use is gaming.

I think I'm deciding to go OLED with my next one, but this looks pretty good for the price.

I've a basic Dell 24" 1080p monitor with 250 nits and I've set it to 75% brightness just to be comfortable with my work,
Resolution wise, for workstation, I think I'd rather have 1920x1020 @ 100% scaling than 2560x1600 or 4K @ 150%.
