This isnt the original 1650 mobile, rather an updated version that uses GDDR6.
I haven't seen any comparable laptops with a 12th gen intel chip. This is a very strong 8 core/12 thread chip that is the latest and greatest. For $550 you're not doing better, you might find something with an RTX 3050 but you're giving up significant CPU power, and efficiency, as this 12th gen chip is on Intel's 10 nm process.
Also, mind that the NVMe drive in this laptop is capable of almost 7000 MB/s, you're not getting speed like this in any other $550 laptop, as they simply lack the PCIe 4.0 bus.
Its also got an HDMI 2.1 port, and DisplayPort 1.4 over USB-C, features that again are lacking at this price point in almost all laptops.
Core i5-12450H (8 cores / 12 threads)
8 GB DDR4 Samsung M471A1K43EB1-CWE (single stick, 3200 MHz, upgradeable to 16GB per slot, 2 slots, 32 GB total)
512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive (MTFDKBA512TFH-1BC1AABHA - 3700 MB/s read)
GTX 1650 4GB GDDR6 (896 shaders, 50 watts TDP)
144 hertz 1080p IPS screen (AU Optronics, mediocre brightness)
White LED backlit keyboard
720p webcam
Hardware specs taken from my own testing with HWinfo64 and GPU-Z.

Oof.
To me, a 3050 Ti is bare minimum in 2022.

Haven't seen any with a 3060 float that low yet, but you can definitely get a 3050 Ti gaming laptop with comparable or better specs by keeping your eyes out.

All based solely on availability of chips needed to build.

***On a completely unrelated sidenote......it's wild that this laptop has a LAN port on both sides as well as an HDMI connection on both sides.
Usually at this pricepoint you would only see a single HDMI or maybe an HDMI and a Displayport. As for the dual-LAN, that isn't something I'm used to seeing.
Although, if I'm being honest, it's probably been a while since I spec'd out current laptops. : D
