As an extra cheap laptop/gaming rig, it seemed like a pretty good value. The new gen's are obviously better, but they seem to be more $$$ especially with a decent graphics card. Thanks for any help!!

Flex 5: literally just a college-work device with onboard graphics that can play games at okay-ish fps at minimum settings. Meant to last all day for the average student.
Gaming Laptop: for gaming. Performance is gimped by 75% automatically if not connected to the charger because of Windows power management. People buy a gaming laptop not because they can game on the train or in the mall, but because it's a compact and simple all-in-one alternative to a desktop.
That said: the GTX 1650 hulk-smashes the iGpu of the Flex 5, and battery life on a gaming laptop is rarely the point, and the 1650 doesn't get bottlenecked by the last-gen Ryzen CPU so....
It's $599 for basically the same performance as an 8th gen i5 and GTX 1060 max-q, which cost around $1000 just two years ago. It's a decent deal.

It's pretty similar, but with twice the ram. It works great for my usage of occasional remote work, video calls, and gaming. It has the same 256gb ssd which fills up FAST. Not sure if this has another ssd slot or not. The EVOO also looks more sedate and ultra book like than this ASUS. For 100+ less than I paid this seems decent. The EVOO swaps between intel graphics and the 1650 depending on whether you're gaming or not. I assume this would too?
For those curious about 1650 laptop capabilities, I've played BFV, COH2, Astroneer, and No Man's Sky online with friends. The fans can get a little loud with gaming but I'm usually wearing headphones so it isn't a big issue. We also had an extra long Zoom call for my daughters birthday streaming over wifi to our 4k tv all running on battery. I would expect similar performance from this.
