Note it's got an extra NVME slot so I added another 500GB WD SN750 Black drive ($50) and also another 8GB of 3200 RAM (Crucial CT8G4SFRA32A $30). Definitely makes a difference. I also plug directly into the monitor (I use the HDMI) so you get the best performance, after putting it in performance mode (G key). Hits 80W on the 3050.
The 120Hz screen isn't great compared to other screens out there. Color isn't great and it's not super bright. If you are in a dimly lit room, you should be fine.
One word of warning. Dell customer support is the worst I have ever experienced. If possible, get the premium support without breaking the bank. Their basic support is completely useless.
A lot of times these laptops use OEM type brands of memory that are nothing special but they work, and dual channel memory will make a difference. If you install speccy on the computer and look up the model number for the memory, you may find it has something like sk hynix 8gb ddr4 3200 cl18 memory. Those are 28-30$ per 8gb. Quite a bit cheaper. And you get dual channel and that will make a nice improvement in performance for cheap. Hope this suggestion helps
I bought the Ryzen 5 version a few weeks ago for $672 total and I'm very happy with it.

It's worth checking out in case a specific retailer offers more cash back through PayPal than the 5.25% you get from your other card. The benefit of PayPal to most people is that if you don't have a credit card with good cash back rates, you only need a bank account to get cash back through them, as opposed to meeting the credit requirements for signing up for a better credit card.
