The 11th promo photo titled "At a glance" says the display refresh rate is 60Hz.

No mention of the refresh rate of the display so assume it's 60Hz. 300-nit and 72% NTSC so good color reproduction.

Aside from that looks like a good deal.

I picked up the HP Omen from Best Buy with the Ryzen 7 4800H. Has more SSD storage but no HDD.
This one worth picking up instead for $50 less?

Nope, the Best Buy one has a better 144hz display, faster 8 core Ryzen 7 there is also a second M2 open if you feel so inclined to upgrade more storage.

Great thanks. Couldn't find much spec on the display. Didn't really want to mess with returning one anyway

I might consider returning my Gateway for this if it's still available tomorrow.

The 1TB HDD, headset, and mouse are an extra discount when resold. Not sure if it's worth the hassle for a upgraded CPU though.

This is last year's chassis. It also doesn't support optimus so battery life will be trash

Yup and the ryzen ones are performing better. Best buy has the same config but 2020 model and ryzen 7 for $850. I would take that one over this any day for the extra $50.

And a local area BB has it in Used - Excellent condition for only $630. Argh...trying to hold myself back.

Comparing the processor in this machine vs the machine with the Ryzen 7 4800H linked above, the 4800H is the better of the two processors. Two extra cores/4 extra threads, a higher clock speed, and better IPC at the same general power requirement level.

As to the more general "Is Ryzen better than the Intel Core i3/5/7" question, answering that requires a large amount of whiskey and a Powerpoint slideshow. Both platforms have their good points, and it is easier to compare specific options than give an overarching answer. They're both pretty good as long as you've done some basic research to make sure you're gonna get what you're expecting.

I bought the open box one myself yesterday it's a excellent machine, no regrets. I have it when it's on battery to disable the Nvidia Gpu and battery life has been amazing over 7hrs of mixed use not gaming but using it as a normal work laptop it lasted over 7hrs and still had 19% before I called it a day.
