NICE COMMENT posted! Liked that you commented about the chassis, easy to update and last, on the memory. No one does that, including polished reviewers. Always great to see people doing this!

Looks like a nice laptop, but I don't need one right now :-(
That's the cool thing about this chassis, at least it's getting a little more well-known. I have an older version of this with an i7-8750H and 1060 6B. It's not strictly as performant as some of the more expensive options with better cooling, but for a laptop that weighs under 5lbs, it's quite good. The only issue being fan noise, but I think all laptops will be noisy under heavy load. Web browsing, this thing is great. Good amount of battery life (not even close to class leaders, but enough for most people), easy to upgrade SSDs and RAM. I'm eagerly awaiting price drops next generation to get a Ryzen and 3080 based laptop in a few years, as that'll be crazy performance on the go for only a moderate price hike for the convenience, imo.

At $250 cheaper than the Best Buy Asus Rog Zephyrus G15 deal, seems like a good deal. The 120Hz panel is probably unusable if you're playing AAA titles on high settings because according to Dell, even the desktop-class GTX1650-Super is only rated to play 1080p 90Hz (I presume that's based on high settings). The mobile GTX1650 is probably comparable to a desktop-class 1030-Ti ?? No idea, but that's my guess.
I think the 1650 mobile is closer to it's desktop counterpart thanks to being low TDP anyhow. A normal 1650 is a 75W part as far as I can see, and this is probably configured as a 50W part here. Notebookcheck says it's only about 11% behind the desktop variant on average. 89% of the desktop performance for lower power makes sense to me.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I have this laptop (bought it at $850 like a sucker). No matter what you do, you will never get 6 hours of battery life. I tried to buy a replacement batter that was larger (and suggested by Linus Tech Tips) and it doesn't fit. There's this weird black cube in the laptop that stops the new battery from sitting flush. I did upgrade to adding a 1TB m.2 hard drive and am currently waiting to another 8 gig of RAM. It plays Cyberpunk fluidly on low settings along with Battlefront 2 and Killing Floor 2.

What about something olderish like Overwatch? 120hz possible on something less demanding like that?

Good deal! I jumped on this one about a month ago at this price. There are a few more options out there with this configuration at this price point at the moment, but there are a few things with this one that make it a little more desirable for me.
* The chassis - Unlike other options from Dell and Lenovo this is a mostly metal chassis with only the bottom being plastic.
* 120Hz display - I've seen some 90Hz, but not 120. The color reproduction may not be as high, but for competitive gaming the higher refresh can be a huge boon.
* Easy to update - I can't speak about the other systems, but I can attest that there are about 12 screws to remove and then you'll have easy access to the M.2 SSD (2 slots, 1 occupied) and the memory (2 slots, 1 occupied).
* CPU - Ryzen 5 compared to i5, which performs more like a desktop i3. Benchmarks are not a good indicator for me usually, but for the CPU they tend to be spot on in this case. Ryzen 5 outperforms the i5 in just about every benchmark and in my use it's been fantastic.

The system games pretty well too. I run MSFS 2020 at high settings at 1080p and I get 25 - 30 fps which is pretty amazing for the budget GPU this is running. The CPU plays a big role in making up for the underpowered GPU.

One note in all of the above, the first thing I did was pick up another 8GB memory and utilized the dual-channel capabilities of the Ryzen CPU. This is the single best update you can make on this machine that will boost the performance.
Is that "onboard ram" soldered down, or removable for future 16x2 setups?

Get the 2060 version, the 1650 won't be able to keep up. The 2060 is great, especially for DLSS enabled titles.

Yeah, makes no sense that they didn't pair the AMD processor, which is more powerful and power efficient, with the better graphics card. Almost like intel is a monopoly or something, crazy I know! What is next, they will make a dedicated graphics card that can only work with their processors?
When I heard that phrase about the cake it was funny for me since I remember thinking "why would I buy a cake if I can't eat it, makes no sense" haha

This video shows a similar cpu and the same gpu testing different games. Hopefully it helps people understand what type of performance can be had from this. https://youtu.be/hSztpA5u-lw
