So I had to surf around for a while to see how good the GPU is on the Ryzen 4700
https://laptoping.com/gpus/produc...n-7-4700u/
Puts it on par with MX250/25w and just behind the mx350/15w.
Some more benches here, from other similar laptops using the ryzen 4700u.

Honestly I was hoping for better GPU. While this one likely kicks the intel GPU to the curb, it's not going to cut it for 1080p gaming. This is too bad. I was looking to replace my gigantic Acer Nitro 5 for something smaller like this. But my Nitro has a 1050ti which is double to triple the GPU performance of the MX250..... and the 1050ti is no beast. It's a 1080p medium GPU. So that makes the Ryzen GPU more like 720p high or 1080p low.
Also the wifey wants touchscreen. I don't really care personally.
Decent $600 laptop. There is 1 so-dimm slot for ram expansion but it might be populated with a 4gb sodimm (4gb is soldered) so you'll have to get rid of that to upgrade. Could probably sell for $25 on ebay.

I'm still debating this one. It would be a huge upgrade over my current travel laptop if nothing else.
edit - example = https://slickdeals.net/f/14800522-msi-gl65-leopard-10sdr-492-15-6-144-hz-intel-core-i7-10750h-geforc...
$769 after rebate. But it's huge and looks just like my Nitro. I don't know if the wife would even notice the difference. That is an upgrade over my current one, but assuming I could sell the old one for $400ish, not really a 3-400 upgrade spec wise.
