I have the Lenovo Yoga C940 with the 1650 and it runs games at low/mid settings... plenty for those who are "dabbling". My biggest gripe is the battery life - 6hrs at most.
This ASUS should have great performance (integrated graphics are nice) and battery life with the discrete card turned off...
I believe the Q series are custom configured to retailer specs for a specific price point. These look like upgraded innards fit into an old case for Best Buy.
Not good enough for gaming, an overkill for media/web consumption. Would probably be nice for development or home studio, web design with photoshopping, etc., needs.
The Q series I have had are great value but seem to fall apart very quickly physically.

This Q series Laptops are BestBuy specific models only and no other sellers sell them in USA. And a lot of people are complaining that the Graphics card is not good for gaming. Well, so is the GPU in Dell XPS 15 2020 model which costs at least $600 more than this. These Laptops are not gaming laptop but portable powerhouse for productivity and creative work and the GPU is there mainly for providing GPU acceleration in supported workloads like Adobe Premiere, Sony VEGAS Pro etc.
This has one hell of specs for the price: -
2X Thunderbolt 4 Port
96 WHr 6 Cell Battery
IR Webcam with Windows Hello
All the comparable Tiger Lake 15.6" Ultrabooks at this price, may be marginally lighter but comes with mostly Intel XE Integrated Graphics, sub 60 WHr battery and just Type-C Gen 2 Port without TB4.

However, they all have compromises at these price levels and it depends on what compromises are important or not to each person. For example, the 1650ti on this one

for the same price might be a better trade-off for some who are not going to use a 4lb+ laptop as a flip tablet.
Personally, an IPS screen, sufficient brightness, keyboard back lighting, sub 4lb weight (lower the better), thin profile, i5 or i7, 16GB memory, 2 SSD slots, USB-C and HDMI ports would be minimum at a sub $1000 price. Rest are nice to have. From that perspective, I don't find this price very attractive although it has a nice set of features.
These laptops are really desktop replacements for desk use than a portable, luggable one. Certainly not for gaming but that is not a strike. Not all laptops need to be for gaming.

In the past, getting dedictaed GPU for office macine was necessary to drive 2-3 external monitors but that is no longer the case.
