Also the 45% NTSC color is unacceptable for this price range

45% NTSC
i7 - 12th gen
3-cell 53.5Whr Li-Polymer Battery
4060 has a miniscul performance boost over a 3060... 4060 has less cuda core, less tensor cores, and less ray-tracing cores...

JarrodsTech comparing the two.

Also, 4060 is a worse gpu than a 3060. On games that it gets more fps
The 4060 (if it's running 90-100W or higher) is 5-15% faster than a 140W 3060... based on reviews from; Jarrod's Tech, Notebookcheck, and Hubwood.

The 4050,4060, and 4070 GPUs are voltage limited and will not boost past 100W regardless of their TGP. So this laptop is very close to being full power. It needs boost to get to 105W, standard with significant CPU is 85W.

The display is very low spec... the worst feature IMO.

This isn't a bad deal if you don't care about the display. If you do, I wouldn't get it. Wait for something better.
