What 14-16" (ips?) notebooks, still being sold, are considered generally safe? Price range: 700€, max 950€.
My older pc, now broken, was a 15.6" ASUS with Windows 10, maybe a X556? I couldn't find PWM info on notebookcheck because it's 5-6 years old. I'm very sensitive to light (any source) so I had to use low brightness and suffer from its (likely low hz) pwm, using it for very short sessions. Clearly with worse problems in the last years, when I literally thought to stop working. I suspect even non-pwm lights could hurt me, but it's worth a try anyway. I only tested them viewing videos for an hour (non-pwm phone).
So, I would use my new notebook for programming and web surfing. The most GPU demanding stuff would be playing twice a month, at max GTA V (medium settings). Nvidia GPU would be cool for CUDA programming, but it's not a must have.
Buying a gaming laptop just for the 144+Hz frequency feels overkill for me, as the price skyrockets and heat/noise is annoying. Never tried anything above 60Hz.
I know about Windows 7 being safer than 10, which has problems with later builds and 11 being in between, but still bad. An older OS is not a problem.
I'm also reading that some new gpus have unavoidable temporal dithering.
What is a reliable setup I can try? Possibly from EU markets. I don't mind if it's 4 years old, if it's safe.
