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.

I bought the same laptop back in August, would have kept it other then picking up the 4070 asus tuf on sale for 1000
Since I have literally only played like 1 game for like 10 mins on the 4070 laptop, is the 4070 worth 200+ more? Not sure, this had better screen and i avg like 10-12 hrs netflix/youtube casual browsing and the 4070 avg like 8-10

This has a very nice display, making it pretty great for a budget laptop.
2 PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots.

Beware of people comparing mobile GPUs to desktop GPUs.

Good: as others noted, nice FHD panel (contrast, colors, no ghosting), solid battery life, decent built quality and keyboard (expected worse, but turned out ok), excellent trackpad, dual M.2 and SO-DIMM slots. GPU perf comparable to Vega 64 and RTX 2080 MaxQ. Mesh shaders supported for upcoming titles, e.g. Alan Wake 2. Armory Crate.
Bad: fingerprint magnet, poor webcam, tinny sounding speakers
Ugly: BIOS update prompt popped out of nowhere, I accepted. Now struggling to reboot in Ultimate / dGPU-only mode: severe glitching on startup, but after login, artifacts disappear, no matter which GPU is used (both 680M and 7600S work fine in idle and under sustained load, despite the glitching during startup). Booting windows in default / optimal mode is completely fine.
