thunderbolt 4 port is a nice addition. i 've seen $1000 gaming laptops missing TB4 port, dunno why.

Im on a super tight budget and need a laptop for 7th grader that can play fortnite reliably.
Is this a good, or even best option for $500?
I appreciate any help you can give this cave man!

I know there is a $100 price difference and the one I've linked is refurbished, but would it be worth the additional funds? It's for a gift for a moderate gamer and just curious if this would be more "future-proof" if that makes sense.
I have very little knowledge when it comes to these things and just trying to weigh my options while sticking to a pretty tight budget. Refurbished is basically a non-factor as the recipient really wouldn't mind.
Except right now, there are issues with the Nvidia driver because they want to push us to use the stupid App driver all in one and they did F-ups of the FPS. So just used the firmware drive from June or July or before the app driver.

Just curious on what other people's experiences with the lifetime of a laptop has been for them?
My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 7559, bought it in 2016 and I upgraded the hard drive for the os to one of those card drives. Laptop works fine other than the battery going bad 4 years ago so I just use it plugged in wall, but my storage drive seems to be making more noise recently and taking a bit longer to wake up when it goes into sleep mode.
you want the higher end of the TGP. more power = faster, but you sacrifice more electricity usage (less battery run time) and heavier (larger heatsink to dissipate the generated heat).
