Screen at least should be decently bright. Make sure you don’t have autobrightness on or “slightly dim when on battery power” checked when outdoors.
I use my 2017 air outdoors. It’s not great, wouldn’t want to be using things with black backgrounds, but it’s doable. And pros have a lot more nits than it.
If you have those things off and it’s duller than other laptops that aren’t specifically built for outdoor use then yeah you might have a lemon.
