Where to start the Ryzen 5 first off is nothing special and you can find better Ryzen 7 or even even intel variants for an extra $50-150.
The RX6550M is not even half of the performance of the 4050 on benchmarks and we have had 4050 laptops in the past around the $600 mark and when on holiday sales like around Xmas. Also does not compete well against the 3050 either which also could be had for around those price points.
Then there is the RAM 8GB of ram is a joke.
Microcenter just had a refurbished victus with a 4060, 32gigs of ram, high end processor for $650 to put the deal into perspective... So all those TU's are just mindless TU. This deal would have to be closer to the $400 mark to even be worth it with all the other options we had recently.
Just some examples to illustrate how bad this deal is....

But I do agree that this is not really a deal. It's an okay price for an okay laptop. The GPU is nearly 20% weaker than the 4050 mobile and 40%+ weaker than the 4060 mobile. The 8GB of RAM is limiting. The CPU is a rebranded 6600hs.
I suggest that anyone looking for laptop try and stretch their budget to get one with a 4060 mobile and 16GB of ram. But I think the lowest those specs have gotten is $800 (barring in-store or ymmv deals).

Waiting for a 4050 sale would be worth every dollar since the 4GB vram means it has limited longevity even if you do upgrade the system ram.

If you are not in a rush probably get a deal on something better in the next week with 4th of july weekend coming up.

Since the 3050 in some games is over 20% more powerful in FPS I dont think the 4050 number is accurate at all.

For $760 there are good condition omens with a 4060 and also better processor.
