I need a new laptop for uni and decided to get the Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 8 with an AMD Ryzen 7 processor.

However, I cannot decide whether I should get the one with IPS or OLED display. The price is about the same.

​

Some specs:

IPS: 2240 x 1400, 300 Nits, 60 Hz

OLED: 2880 x 1800, 400 Nits, 90 Hz

​

Some info on planned usage:

I will use it for school and private entertainment. Taking handwritten notes (OneNote mainly), word and excel documents, and lots of web browsing (YouTube, movies, shopping etc.). I’m usually using the Laptop all day from morning until I get to sleep and I also often leave it open on the same panel.

​

Edit: Some more info

I really like the idea of a 90 Hz display with 400 Nits. However, I’ve seen some pretty bad reviews and the risk of burn-ins on the OLED display. Plus faster battery drain with the OLED one. I need a long battery life since I’m often out for 10 - 12 hours.

But I’ve also read concerns about 300 Nits not being enough for the IPS display.

And I don’t really care for the resolution difference.
