Can't find any reviews of this specific model (13th gen Intel), but the reviews for the Pro 5 (AMD-based) look quite good. Also, Lenovo has a full spec sheet for this model on their website. It's the 80W TDP 3050 and there's a few other interesting nuggets in there (e.g., Mobilemark battery is 8.5h and 14h in local 1080p video playback).
It seems tempting for the price and compact size.
My gaming desktop has 32GB and it's nice for sure to have when paired with a high-ish end GPU, but given the kind of dGPU here, what I plan to run will likely be fine within the 16GB envelope. Games like Horizon Zero Dawn, RDR2, Metro Exodus, etc. are all fine with 16GB for example.
My biggest concern is whether USB-C charging is workable, and if it can work with a 65W charger. I wouldn't expect 65W to allow gaming or heavy use (much less while charging) but it would be nice for travel to be able to at least charge it and keep it charged in light use through my existing travel adapter. On my T480s with an MX250 dGPU, I can even game with the 65W travel charger, even if it slowly drains the battery (not good, and I avoid doing that).

Given the 30-day return policy that also allows dropping it off at Walmart, I might just pull the trigger and see if it's worth keeping in terms of USB-C charging, throttling, battery life in practice, etc.
Also, having this many cores will surely help for highly parallel operations that are not GPU-accelerated. These small e-cores don't look like much, but they really make a difference (I have a 12700k on my desktop so I get to see this first hand in things like compression/encryption).
The bigger question is probably the screen, which is 100% sRGB, but not specifically advertised for "creative" use. So that something to keep in mind if you need very high color accuracy, DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB full coverage, etc.

Anyway, I think I'll keep an eye out for a creative laptop, because I need color accuracy.

If you have a color calibration tool (or can borrow one, you only really need it once), you could probably use this screen after calibration to get accurate colors. It requires a bit of work to add the profile in Windows though. The other thing is that the calibrated settings for typical screens often require using mid-ish brightness settings, which can be a problem in certain situations.
