Is this machine generations old?

It's like whoever ordered these things originally maxed out the CPU from what was available (and I think this CPU is pretty good , I have the i7 version and it's decent even 3 years later) and kind of made everything else mediocre or cheaped out.
It is hard to compare this kind of laptop (like a real pro workstation) vs a consumer or even prosumer one. These are gonna be WAY better built than your Dell G15, even a new one.
In the end I gave a TD because despite better build quality, the mediocre screen + 16GB RAM + 3060 equivalent + mechanical drive (wtf???) just isn't worth 799 as a refurb. 🤷 ♂️. If they had thrown in the better screen, or 32gb of ram; or the a4000, or hell, a 2TB nvme this would be at least ok. As it stands, naw.
At a distance of ~2ft the display would be considered "retina" but that's a bit too far for a laptop. It's not just text sharpness either, but overall desktop space. My current laptop is 13.3" and 1920x1200 and I'd consider that a bare minimum. Lowering the resolution further and putting it on an even larger display is fine for an entry level laptop but not one for $800. Particularly when 2K + screens are commonplace now at much lower price points. Check out any of the recent popular deals, 1920x1200 screens are abundant at <$500 even
