Honestly, I'd prefer something with a 3050 now over a 1650. The Dell G15 has hit $650 with similar specs a few weeks ago.

As a point of reference I bought a 10750H Acer with a 1660 TI for $650 last year. I know there's no time machine and there's inflation but $630 for a laptop with a 1650 is not really a deal.
I don't like that Intel used the word "gaming".
I feel that a 1650 is not powerful enough.
The lowest level GPU that you need to game is a 1660Ti, IMHO.
If you don't game, don't bother with a dedicated GPU.
Lastly, for a budget gaming laptop... I don't care if it is a intel or AMD, it is not about the CPU it is about the GPU. We can have a large discussion about which CPU is better but not for a budget machine.
I have a "OLD" gaming laptop (i7 3rd gen)... and when I do upgrade I most likely will get a high end Ryzen with a RTX3070 and I will spend close to $1,400.00... BUT THAT IS ME.
