Currently most popular CB sites are running 6% to 8% Cashback on Lenovo sites. So, add that on top of this price.
And regarding your idea about RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 for content creation, is pretty wrong. That GPU is not their for gaming but for works which can use that. a RTX 3060 offers significant performance advantages over RTX 3050 in any content creation workloads like Video editing in Adobe premiere and after effects, Da Vinci Resolve and rendering applications like Blender and the 6GB video memory helps a lot over there.

Your first comment about a 75W or 65W RTX 3060 being same as a RTX 3050 Ti is a completely wrong statement in the first placement. There are plenty of reviews available for a 65W RTX 3060. Even the RTX 3060 in Zephyrus G14 is a 60W RTX which can boost up to 75W using Dynamic Boost. As per the reviews, that lower powered RTX 3060 is over 20% to 30% more powerful than the highest power RTX 3050 Ti at 80W with 15W in Dynamic Boost. Simply check the performance of G14 and compare it with any RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop like Dell G15, using full 80W + 15W with dynamic Boost RTX 3050 Ti.
Now coming to your second point that OEM putting Gaming Cards in Productivity Machine but giving 60 Hz is another misconception. You are confusing Workstation grade tasks which requires Professional Cards like Quadro or Radeon Pro series (Like CAD design) with normal productivity tasks like high end Video editing using Adobe Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro or rendering using Blender. For these kind of works, you don't need a Workstation ISV certified cards, instead a Gaming GPU will do just fine. Here also, the amount of Video Memory and the number of Stream Processors (SP) do play a significant role. Check some benchmark scores like Puget System's Adobe Premiere pro or Adobe After Effect Benchmarks. RTX 3050 / ti has just 4GB of video memory which bottlenecks higher end editing configurations when using a very high bitrate video and applying a lot of filters. RTX 3060 is a perfect candidate for that.
And I am not sure why you are so much surprised about that. In Last generation also, RTX 2060 was the middle ground for gaming Laptops and almost all gaming laptops with that card, come with either 120 Hz or 144 Hz Panel. But all the Creator or productivity Laptops using that Card always come with the 65W Max-Q version of it. The Target audience is completely different for these Laptops compared to gaming laptops and you can't expect to have these laptops packed with gaming centric features and it will simply increase the cost for something the target audience will barely use. If you need gaming, get something designed for that purpose and there are plenty of options.
Hard to even think anyone is doubting the value of this 75w 3060 against the ultra low 40-50w 3050/ti builds on here
The screen is 60hz yes. But it has good response time, 400 nits, and Dolby vision(hdr) in. 16:10 creative focused package.
I ordered on Saturday the 18th and received wed 22nd
Thinking seriously about returning the 14" new unit and then selling my X1 Carbon 8th Gen along with older p50s and opting to pick up one of the framework laptops instead.. I don't know what it is but the soldered 16GB ceiling really gets me frustrated - especially with all the recent 2x16GB deals on RAM sticks....
So the question I guess I am left with is do grab one of these for the same price as the non-gpu having 14"? or just blow off Lenovo entirely (which is probably long overdue).... Over-priced blah spec, and soldered....trifecta of meh..
