With that said, if this was $500 without the 3050, it'd be very tempting. The integrated 680m graphics on the 6800H is pretty darn good on its own!
Let's learn something 1st before start putting comments
Except they are not.
Try to read some reviews instead of doing your guess work. I think you're just assuming all U series are low powered and all H series are power hungry, irrespective of the Processor brand, architecture or generation....I can understand bad effect of having a Laptop with Intel 12th Gen Power hungry monster. For Ryzen it is not true. Companies have released small 14" Ultrabooks with H series Ryzen 4000, 5000 and now 6000 H series Processors and pretty small battery compared to Intel laptops and they still do fine and better.

The H CPUs from Ryzen are all indeed power hungry.

Yeah 6000 H maybe better than 12th gen Intel H, but a measly 45Whr battery is not gonna cut it

That does not make the CPU power hungry, does it? If you need higher battery capacity, you need to get for higher tier gaming laptops, not complaining at literally lowest end gaming laptops from Lenovo where they are providing top of the line latest Ryzen Processor, 16GB Ram, 512Gb Storage and a almost full powered RTX 3050 Ti in $750.
Looking to buy a new laptop as a grad gift for our son. Difficult to find a 15.6" with great specs but WITHOUT a dedicated GPU (to keep the price down) and keeping it as light as possible (IOW well under 5lb).
EDIT should mention that he just started his PhD, so raw power and low weight dragging it to and from class/lab/TAing every day far outweigh the display or GPU. BUT he wants bigger than a 14".
LG Gram might be a good fit. 15, 16, and 17 inch options. All under 3lbs. The current gen intel processors in them are very capable (though the 10th and 11th gen were no slouches). Also all day battery life.

I mean to say that the CPU doesn't go well with a 45Whr battery at all

Normally people buying these kind of very budget gaming laptops, care less about battery life and more on the performance. Literally every gaming laptops in this price segment comes with pretty small battery.

What is your budget and mainly what screen size you're looking for?

Not to be snarky, but as little as possible. (there's a reason that SD is my home page) Well under $1k, preferably WELL under.
Tho he is looking into his dept footing the bill, since he'd presumably be carrying it to conferences. He said that something about bringing his tech up to date was mentioned in his interviews/recruitment.

15.6-16".
He ordered a pretty nice laptop from AWD during the recent 20% off promo, but as he's futzing with it, he says that out of the blue he lost bluetooth and device manager now can't even see a BT, so possibly getting RMA'd back to AWD.

WIll check and let you know. My suggestion will be HP ELiteBook 865 G9 (16") Laptop deal posted here, around $1200 which has pretty beefed up configuration, very long battery life and good system upgradability.
