Review: https://www.trustedrevi
Pros:
- RTX 4050 GPU has DLSS for improved framerates.
- 16GB DDR4 RAM is upgradeable to 64GB.
- FHD Screen with 144Hz refresh rate works for eSports titles.
Cons:- Older CPU is not as powerful or energy efficient as more modern CPUs.
- DDR4 RAM is slow (3200Mhz vs 5600Mhz for DDR5)
- RTX 4050 is a low end GPU. 4060 opens up 1440 gaming options.
- Screen is dim at 250 Nits and only has 45% NTSC color coverage.
- 1 USB-C 3.2 port, No USB-C charging.
- 5.5 hours battery life.
I would personally hold out for a similar price for a newer Intel CPU or an AMD 78XX/88XX CPU and an RTX 4060 GPU which will provide significantly better gaming performance into the future.https://slickdeals.net/f/17803995-dell-inspiron-16-plus-16-qhd-120hz-ips-core-i7-13620h-rtx-4060-16gb-ddr5-1tb-gen4-ssd-win11p-749-99-or-674-99-w-dell-signup-coupon-f-s?attrsrc=Threa

If I was going to buy this machine as a budget eSports laptop I would target a price of $450-$550 considering the other deals we have seen recently and Black Friday approaching.

So I'll take your advice and check for reports on cooling problems with this specific laptop model.
From the review I linked:
"And thanks to the relatively low-powered CPU and GPU the single cooling fan doesn't have to work too hard or run too loud to keep everything cool."
So I wouldn't worry about overheating in this particular model. I would be more concerned that the GPU is not provided very much power (35-45 Watt) resulting in lower performance than you might expect from this GPU with a higher wattage TDP (up to 105 Watt in other models).

On top of that, this features literally the worst screen of any modern gaming laptop, the 4050 is severely power limited, and the CPU is slow.
It doesn't even support USB charging.
Spend just $8 more on the Lenovo LOQ: much better screen(better color and brightness), faster CPU, higher GPU power, bigger battery, an additional m.2 SSD slot, USB charging, and it won't fall apart on you after a year.

I've always seen my model, goes on sale for refurbished, well their's usually a reason why.
