I tested out a few games on this and the upper part of the keyboard was very hot. I didn't want it to harm the internals so I was planning on returning it, but this felt like a very good quality machine for the price.
Edit: Kept it for a little while longer. I'm going to take full advantage of BB's return policy. Seems stable after modifying settings (disable SAG/sleep, magic packet/pattern match, g-helper). After tweaking fan curves with g-helper it seems to run cooler. Stock fan curve seems to start to late and does not reach the max speed until 95C. Wouldn't recommend for out of the box experience but fixable if you research.
Anyone have any advice for a first time pc buy?

But if portability is important to you, go for it

I would cross reference other big box retailers for the cpu , gpu, and screen size to see that it's meeting all your expectations. Enjoy!

I thought I might as well either save $150 with the Dell G15 4050 or spend a little more and get a 4060. This laptop still has good value since it's one of a few with long lasting batteries unlike the Legions/LOQs (non slim).
