ASUS VivoBook S15 S533 (100% sRGB) ??

Hi everyone, I want to buy an ASUS VivoBook S15 S533. I like how it looks, feels, and all the other aspects. My only concern is the screen. On your site, you have a page listing all the strength of this laptop including its display: https://www.asus.com/my/Laptops/For-Home/VivoBook/VivoBook-S15-S533-11th-Gen-Intel/
The page says that the laptop has an excellent IPS display with up to 100% sRGB color coverage. And that's great, but early reviews online: (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Asus-VivoBook-S15-S533EQ-in-review-Elegant-all-rounder-with-equipment-... say that display is the weak spot of this laptop with sRGB coverage of only about 50-60% and brightness about 250 nits (which is pretty bad).
Both of these ASUS pages advertise that the S533 comes with a 100% sRGB screen.
This page https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/VivoBook/VivoBook-S15-S533/ says 100% sRGB
and this one https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/VivoBook/VivoBook-S15-S533-11th-Gen-Intel/ says up to 100% sRGB
and in your own online store, you say that this model - https://store.asus.com/us/item/202010AM150000008 comes with a 100% sRGB, but I'm not sure if that's correct. 
Apparently, the S533 models come with two screen variations, according to this page https://www.asus.com/Laptops/For-Home/VivoBook/VivoBook-S15-S533-11th-Gen-Intel/techspec/
So, I want to know which exact S533 configurations come with a better (100% sRGB, 300 nits) screen. I work with graphics, so this is really important to me. 

P.S. I'm not allowed to post links yet, so links are unclickable.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Mike,
I'm sorry that the advertisement confused you. The Ads are general.
As explain in previous reply, there is no specific model name for 100%sRGB panel version device.
Each S533 model have different combination of panel, storage, and memory. Please feel free to explore yourself.
Thank you.

I mean how could it not?! If you say models with 100% sRGB are not available in North America, how come you use 'general advertising' on US pages where it's inaccurate.
"Feel free to explore yourself" is 'great' advice, but I barely have time to visit stores and harass sale's people who clearly won't know the answer to this question. They use the information provided to them by the manufacturer, but if the manufacturer itself doesn't know which screens it uses on which models, how is a retailer supposed to know?!
I guess I'll have to start looking for another laptop as, to be honest, I'm really tired of this back and forth. I thought that I found the laptop that 'check all the right boxes for me' but this screen thing is just ridiculous.
I don't understand why you don't clearly label your models so that potential buyers can choose which screen option they want and even pay extra for it (many people would be happy to pay an extra $100-150 and get this laptop with a 100% sRGB screen), but you're saying that you install different screens on different models without yourself knowing which one goes where. So, laptops with 100% sRGB cost as much as those with a shitty 62% sRGB screen? It doesn't make sense to me.

Anyway, it's your call of course. Good luck
