May not be a deal breaker for some, but was for me unfortunately. Regardless, great find OP!
Also to help others make an informed decision, the 3060 looks to be 75 watts, which is perfectly fine for this price point and a non-gaming machine, but you're looking at around a 15% performance reduction compared to a higher (95, 120, or 130) watt 3060...likely more at this resolution. Temper your expectations accordingly (advice I need to follow more often than not).
Edit: just saw gyraxis had already mentioned the wattage in the thread, cheers my dude.

The screen is the biggest difference you go from a 400 nit QHD 16:10 100% SRGB screen and good adobe RGB % to a 300 nit crappy 45% NTSC / 62% SRGB with bad contrast, light bleed and etc.
(there is no need for pedants to come in and argue the pricing in my analogy... Where I live that analogy matches real-life perfectly, and its just an analogy anyways, doesnt need to fit every used car market on the planet)

Just picked up an open box Ideapad pro 5 from microcenter for 850ish but it's having a lot of wifi issues.
