I feel it should be noted the GPU in this laptop is GDDR6, not GDDR5 as in the updated OP. This means you get more bandwidth and the capability of overclocking the memory is going to be much improved.
This isnt the original 1650 mobile, rather an updated version that uses GDDR6.

Guys, for $550, or even $447 (open box) you gotta be willing to make some sacrifices lol they cant give you the world.

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.

I have this laptop in front of me, it only has one ethernet port and one HDMI port. However, you do have DisplayPort 1.4 through the USB-C port so could certainly connect multiple monitors at once.
That's good to know. Check the sideview images on the product page.
It is showing a LAN + HDMI on both sides.

I don't understand anything with less that 16GB RAM in 2022. I mean yeah, if this is a strictly budget gaming laptop, sure. But I can't seem to keep from swapping with my 8GB laptop if I open more than a very few browser tabs.

For those mentioning a 3050 or 3060 the price would be 800+.
If you creep on bb.com you can find excellent open box deals, I just scored an Alienware M15 R4 open box excellent for $700! They had the Gigabyte Aorus 15P XD (11800H, 3070, 1TB SSD) for $1070 open box excellent too which is a great price (which I bought but ended up canceling once I found the Alienware!). I bought a Dell G15 with a 5800H and 3050Ti (95w) for $573 open box certified which is great and I was going to return it but my buddy ended up buying it off me for the same price I paid!

$35 for a 8GB stick, easy and cheap upgrade, but I agree, 16GB should be standard! FPS much better with 16GB.

Just for the sake of info for the masses......here's a 3050 w/ an 11th gen CPU that is discounted $360 for a price of $579: LINK [bestbuy.com]

Lenovo - IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8 GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 256 GB SSD - Shadow Black
I bought that one too when it was on sale for $549 two weeks ago. Processor is a 11300H, which is a quad core i5 and gimped imo (not that it would be the bottleneck with a 3050 I guess) but I returned it immediately!

Not bad at all, much better than iGPU and basically the same price as a similar laptop without a dedicated GPU!

The CPU result is incredibly strong for having single channel memory, adding an 8GB stick would improve CPU performance even more, as it sits it easily beat an i7-10750 laptop I had before.

This is realistically more a general purpose laptop with the added benefit of a decent(ish) Nvidia chip for light/casual gaming.

I have a 16GB 3200Mhz kit already and will install it later, and will post an updated firestrike score.

Why not put a 1050 ti in it and make the price $100.

Your argument isn't valid. 3050 or AMD equivelent should be as low as anyone goes on a "gaming" laptop. 1650 is junk.

And because of that they really shouldn't call that a "Gaming Laptop"
