As long as it's MOSTLY a "portable within range of power" then this laptop is fantastic. Probably only going to get like 3-4 hours on battery for just general web browsing and the like. But in terms of gaming, general use etc this thing is a beast in it's price range.
Also to answer your question on "what can integrated graphics play these days?" a lot more than they used to, some of the newest iGPUs are comparable in games to a 4070/5060. But they also don't come in sub several thousand dollar systems lol.

Here is PSRef for this model.
For those asking about Thunderbolt - that's not included on these entry level gaming laptops (same with USB4). For those commenting on "i5? Gross!" - this is an HX CPU - will have plenty of power. This is essentially a desktop i5. My opinion on regular U-class is that i7 (now Ultra 7) means less - usually an extra big cache and 100MHz or so (with HX, you may get more cores). But with 2 SSD and 2 SoDIMM slots (some are used), there are expansion options. Great price - if I didn't already have a dozen laptops here...
16 inch is too heavy 4-5lb with power cord
Get a 14 inch under 3 lb. I like the Acer Swift series, Asus S 14. Aspire you can find at Costco.
$700 258v 32gb 1tb 24 hr battery. Light Gamer 60fps
$700 155h 16gb 1tb 4050 (Gpu is 2x-4x) 14 hr battery. Gamer 90-120 fps

Would this be a good mid-tier gaming laptop for an 11-year old?
In this price range, this CPU is great in terms of power. The main downside to this class of CPU is the power usage when you go to battery mode. This would be a fantastic gaming laptop for an adult on a budget, much less a preteen. The Legion LOQ also has good build quality which matters a lot when we are talking about kids lol. Probably the only negatives on this is it is using a single 16 GB ram chip, and .5 TB SSD but this laptop is easily upgraded.

Wow that's gross. From what I saw (not your specific Acer), Acer's build quality is mediocre to bad. $3000 dollar 5000 series Predator Helios at Microcenter the screen was so flimsy it bent over half an inch when opening it from the center which is a first for me lol.
Oh one other piece of advice, main thing that kills laptops, especially gaming ones is heat. Make sure they know to use a firm surface under it like a lapdesk or something, don't just sit it on a bed or blanket and cook it lol. And every 18-24 months depending on animals/shedding humans get someone to clean out the fans. Do that and it should easily last them well into high school.

i got $700 i7-13th 4060 from Acer ebay , Acer support was excellent when there was a power supply issue. Condition of laptop was like new- under 10 cycles on battery.
Always avoid bottom of the barrel devices and parts
Staples recently had an ASUS TUF A15 with nearly identical specs that had USB4, for $20 cheaper and 10% back in points, but the thing was really ugly so I passed on that as well.
