If it utilizes the advances in graphics this could run an 8k monitor. I just could not find the specs that matter as to improvements in Gen 11 over 10. It should be better on the battery and a bit more powerful but my Gen 10 seemed to be fast enough. These specs are more in line with Gen 10 or even older.
HDMI Output x 1
USB Type-C x 1
USB 3.0 x 1
USB 3.1 x 1
Why only 3.1 when the processor supports 4.0? What gen is the HDMI? These are stuck in the past if they are as stated. Making this a lot more like Gen 10 than Gen 11. My Gen 7 Dell 7040 Desktop supports better specs minus the type C. It has two DP 1.2's and an HDMI 1.4. It uas USB 3.2. The DDR4 is slower though it can be upped to 64GB. The processor is most likely faster as it is a Desktop. It easily runs 4k in all three at 30hz. It might run a fourth monitor VGA. Will this machine even do 4k at 60hz? The processor is plenty good enough but the MB is also important.
Just questions. Does anyone know more about the USB-C.. What gen is the DP on it and does it even support DP. That is what would be important to know. If it utilizes properly the processor it could be a huge step up from the Gen 10. You could possibly run more than one 4K monitor at 60HZ through the USB C with an adapter.
I wish the specs were more specific.
As to why soldered. Soldered allows faster DDR4. Expect to see soldered as the new norm.

But no Thunderbolt (the USB Type C port only supports data transfer, not charging, not display port).
So what is the real point on Gen 11 if the most important features of it are not supported by the MB?
I would suggest you find another laptop that supports DP to future proof. This future locks you to Gen 7 or so. I have seen many laptops for not much more that support DP some up to Thunderbolt 4.
I still would suggest one of the far cheaper Gen 10 Gateways as you are just not going to see much of an improvement in Gen 11. Thunderbolt 4 should be what to look for if you want to spend more. That is a huge improvement for sure.
Can someone please help me decide which laptop is the best strictly for gaming (rocket league, fortnite, etc)? Please look at the ram and cpu of each, as all of them will meet my daily office needs / I would be happy with the format, size, build quality, etc of all of them and they are all around similar price after discounts (500-600 with amex offer). Just not sure which cpu + ram combo would perform the best in games.

I wonder what wifi card it has. The one in my 15.6 3450 Ryzen version was some off -brand single-Antenna version that killed my attempt to load Linux on it for now. I need an updated kernal and I'm not good enough to do that so I'm running Windows 10 LTSC which is great and I'll likely stay with that.
