I have this model and love it as a developer workstation. Very powerful, good battery life, small (for the umph), and just a great laptop!

Main cons:
- No webcam
- 8GB soldered on (1 upgradeable slot)
- Intel 660p SSD comes with it (I upgraded to an SX8200 Pro and LOVE it!)
- A few important keys are missing on the keyboard (home/end/pgup/pgdn)
- Only charges at 45W via USB-C
- 1080p screen (which is fine at this size)
- If you're a competitive gamer, this isn't for you, but you shouldn't be getting laptop recommendations for a deals site either

If these aren't deal-breakers and you're on the fence, buy it! The soldered RAM and missing keys are seriously my biggest beefs with the laptop. I do wish it had a webcam as well, but have yet to need it so far. I bought a cheap Aukey webcam to always have in my backpack just in case.
Yes, it can play all modern games at good settings and you can easily use it for Video editing and CPU intensive tasks. The Processor Ryzen 9 4900HS is a 8 Core 16 Thread processor and it has better performance than almost all Intel 8 Core CPUs including the i7-10875H, while consuming lot less power and generating lot less heat.
Note: no webcam (the reason why I passed on this laptop)

Superb Deal at this price. Even at the last lowered price of $1299, it was great and now with another $100 drop, this is a superb deal.
The best thing is that if you want an Ultrabook with high battery life but want workstation like performance, you don't need to have two different Laptops as this can serve both.

Not a bad price for the 2060 model.

Also available open box - excellent for $1,091.99

Does this run most recent games at good speeds ? , And can I use it for video editing , or to do exhausting tasks ,I want a laptop that lasts or that it can go good for 3-5 years

Yeah, it's pretty obvious the design team created this before covid, really bad timing. If you can live with bringing an external usb webcam with you, could still be an option but that does detract from the otherwise excellent portability of this laptop

To add to that, the thermals on this one seem to be pretty good except due to the hinge design, do not play games with the laptop screen closed (plugged in to an external monitor) because it won't be able to properly vent
