Probably the best "gaming" laptop you'll find for the price. The 1650 is an older GPU now, so new games you'll be running at low settings, but they will still run. You want at least a 3050 to run newer games because that GPU supports DLSS. Also the 11300h has only 4 CPU cores so it's quite a bit slower than any ryzen based gaming laptop. The 11400h has 6 CPU cores and you can find that in laptops for ~$500.

This laptop supports 2 NVME SSD's or 1 NVME + 1 SATA, but it does not appear to come with the standoff to mount a second NVME SSD.

Overall it is a good price for the specs, but if you want to play newer games with medium settings I would recommend spending ~$100 more for something with a 3050 and 6 CPU cores.

I don't expect this to be the best price of the year, but 6 months ago this would've been sold out at $800

Will be fine. Upgrade to 16GB or even 24GB.

They threw them out 2 years ago with those configurations and specs from all kind of manufactures and they are still throwing them out. How many crappy 1650's mobile do they have...

This is not a bad deal for the price. Normal laptops with no gpu go for more than this. This laptop with another stick of ram will run nearly everything at medium settings.

I have something very similar for double this price. It's a good deal for less intensive gaming.
