Also, it's almost 2022. I don't know how MIRs are still a thing, but they need to die in a fire. People should stop enabling them.
Isn't 4k at a 15.6 size just going to tax the GPU a lot and not really add much visual benefit? I was under the impression that 4k adds a lot more strain and also is less and less useful as a screen gets smaller.

This is a pretty average deal on a laptop with a lot of problems, going through recent 3 months of seeing this series of laptop you can spend a little more and get a LOT better. They're doing their best to stock clear these things, it's unfortunate that such a color accurate screen is on an otherwise relatively bad laptop. Low gpu wattages, horrible i/o placement, overheating from Intel processors, thunderbolt port and wifi failures, it's all just lesser when compared to the competition at around the same price point. Unless you're looking for an OLED screen, you can do a lot better for the middling price.

I wouldnt call the 11800h a pile of junk; its a HUGE improvement over all of the 14nm+++ renditions. You get the 2021 goodies like PCIe 4.0, TB4, 3200mhz RAM, AVX-512, and overall lower heat dissipation. Yes, at lower voltages it loses to the Ryzen 7 5800h, but these are the kinds of machines that you use while plugged-in when at full-blast, and at that point, the Tiger Lake really starts to excel. I dont know about you, but I either run at CPU at 1% (idle) or 100% (mining, encoding, decompressing, etc.)
Yes, the 3060 is not going to light you ablaze, but it is quite comparable to last years 2070, and no one cried foul when they could get their hands on one of those! It runs at 105w (95w for max-q, with 10w boost). For comparison, I am running a Quadro RTX 4000, which maxes out at 80w (and you cant boost, or OC ANYTHING in Quadro-land). It runs like a 2060 super...and all of this on the same OLED screen! Even with a mobile 2080 super (the fastest card I could find in 2020), 4k gaming was not possible. Look at it this way...you can use the TB4 to add an eGPU...something you cannot do with an AMD machine.
All in all, it really isnt bad. Id take the OLED over a faster video card, because even when not gaming, youre looking at the screen, and youll love the deep blacks everytime

This. 1080p scales perfectly with a 4k screen. You won't get that slight fuzziness that you get with odd resolutions.
