Good day

I'm looking for a laptop with these specs:

I want these exact specs, it's non-negotiable:
1. 15.6 inch screen
2. 1920 x 1080p resolution, at least 300 nits brightness, 100% sRGB colour gamut, IPS panel, anti glare screen, NO BLUE LIGHT FILTERS or EYEEASE TECHNOLOGY (please not 45% NTSC colour gamut)
3. i7 12th or 13th gen
4. 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
5. Backlit keyboard, with full keypad
6. Windows operating system

The ports can be negotiable:
Ports: 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, 1 HDMI port, & headphone jack.

Does anyone know of a laptop with such a configuration? I've been searching for such a laptop for days but cannot find one. I prefer Lenovo, Dell or HP.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Lenovo thinkbook 15
Dell Inspiron 15 5518 - here you are likely going to have to upgrade ram and SSD though

The Dell has a blue light filter.
I don't want to go over R30k. I think the Lenovo will be in that bracket.
I just need to view it before buying. I can't risk it having the blue light filter.
I already have a laptop with a filter and I hate it.
 
How do you see a screen has a blue light filter?

I’m not understanding how it can annoy you.

What blue light filter? Just switch it off off? It's just software anyway - it isn't physical hardware.

The whites appear creamish. If I compare it to a laptop without a filter you can easily see the difference.

Exactly. It's just a setting in windows, not a glass filter on the actual screen.

It's not a setting in windows. It's a hardware modification to the glass on the screen. You cannot disable it.

That’s called colour temperature and simply needs calibration.

Any monitor can be calibrated.

Has nothing to do with filters.

No, it’s simply a default setup that is too warm.

You clearly have a preference for colder colour temperature.

Simply adjust it.
