okay, for Windows laptop in 2021, only 3 types:
Student: Under $600, pick your trust brand.
Business: 2-in-1 laptop/touch screen, no need graphic card, 12GB+ of RAM, light weight + big battery.
Gaming: must-have graphic card.
In my conclusion: I don't know why they sell this kind of laptop in 2021.

This laptop could be useful to someone that wants to do light graphics, document, or coding. It has a good enough CPU with strong enough graphics for that. There's plenty of RAM. The screen aspect ratio would be amazing for it too.

I can also imagine someone might plug in an external GPU to the thunderbolt port and enjoy some gaming. They'll be limited by the thunderbolt interface and the mobile CPU, but it will still be a good experience.

I'm strongly considering this for myself.

Actually this is one of the cheapest Laptop with 3:2 aspect ratio, has very lightweight design, very good build quality without having too much flex, thanks to the magnesium alloy construct and fully loaded spec. As per various reviews, the thermals on this laptop is very good, never going over 70 degree C even at full load. Also, the display quality is very good, with average brightness going over 400 nits and max almost reaching to 450 nits.

I am not sure why this is not getting much attention. The other option is HP Spectre 13.5 which with a Core i5, 8GB Ram and 256GB SSD costs more than this laptop. Check the review link I have attached in my first post and you can find all the details.
