This Laptop has the Ryzen 6800HS Creator Edition which is Lenovo's take on AMD 6000 series Processors. Basically they have worked on multiple professional Software Vendors like Adobe to optimize it for those workloads. Normally Intel Processors with similar dedicated cards perform better in Adobe Suites as it can use the CPU + dedicated GPU + QuickSync from the Intel integrated GPUs whereas for AMD, the neither the VEGA nor the RDNA2 are optimized and if a dedicated GPU is plugged in, Adobe software simply use that and does not take advantage of the integrated GPU as well.
In this Creator Edition versions, Lenovo has fixed the issue and optimized it for those applications. Check the Matthew Moniz's review of IdeaPad Slim 7 Pro X using that same Creator Edition CPU and the benchmarks.

Regarding the 120Hz refresh rate, now higher refresh rate panels are becoming cheaper and so even these kind of laptops are now implementing them without increasing price. As you mentioned, this enables these laptops to do occasional gaming + 120Hz refresh rate makes thing look faster even when not gaming. In 2022, there are lot of laptops coming with higher refresh rates, even with integrated graphics.
My model has the exact same Display, 5900HX, 32GB soldered DDR4 3200, 1TB Gen 3 SSD and RTX 3050 55W GPU. However, it does not have Advanced Optimus or Mux switch, this year's model have.
I am using this as my personal work laptop and Work from Home laptop for over 5 months now and I must say, it is a great machine. The Battery life is very good, 7+ hours of use with mix usage, including some demanding tasks. Also, this laptop runs far cooler than any intel based Thin & Light high performance laptops in load. The build quality is pretty good and has enough ports. I normally use it home with my 4K 144Hz Acer Predator 28" Monitor via a single Type-C to DisplayPort 1.4 cable and it works flawlessly.
