But the ryzen has a better multi core score according to Passmark as well

Considering the scores are well above 20,000 Passmark, being paired with a mobile RX 7600 GPU, is plenty fast, there will not be a cpu bottleneck here with the ryzen, the GPU if anything would hold it back. And honestly for this price of a mobile gaming laptop this looks pretty good with the MUX switch which will help with better performance. More info on what that does here

Pros:
Fairly fast, as long as you don't demand top of the line performance it will be fine. Still 6 cores of Zen 3 working for you.
Adequate GPU, may have to turn a few things down but will play modern games easily.
Great screen, most laptops in this price range have crappy 45% NTSC screens.
Cons:
Plasticy, the plastic tends to collect fingerprints and oil and it doesn't feel quite as solid as some laptops. Not a big deal but doesn't look and feel as good as it could.
Noisy. As to be expected the fans crank up the volume when gaming. Doesn't seem to get too hot though.
No camera shutter. This one is a weird oversight and the webcam itself isn't great but that's not why you would buy this laptop to begin with.
4/5 is what I would give it.

The CPU is a rebranded zen3 based cpu which is worse than the 12th gen intel i7 equivalent(https://cpu.userbenchma
The battery life does seem to be great though and this is cheaper than any 3060 laptop as of now.
The only other deal at this price right now is the gigabyte G5 with the 4060 - i7-12650H , which is superior on paper but has abysmal battery, worse support and a limited watt GPU that causes it to perform closer to a 4050. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TlDaKj
So my question is this really a good deal at this price or is it advisable to wait for a deal on a 4060 laptop?

Thinking this isn't a great choice for hard-core gamers, but a great solution for Creators because of 100 sRGB display?

priorities are good battery life and ability to do regular college stuff and music production stuff (daws, etc.)
Is this good?
Thanks in advance.

Might not be great gaming device but at 570 it's worth every penny.
Hoping to get better price on DDR5 5600mhz 32gb
My take At 750$ buy a new one if you need one now, Open Box excellent I will pass at the current price.
