The 14400F has been stupid cheap, around $100. But currently $130 at Newegg.
Then there's been other pre-builts with similar specs and pricing (Omen in June, Nitro in July - refurbished) but using the RTX 4060. I regard the 4060 as better than the 5050, as in most reviews I've seen it performs slightly better while using slightly less power. But sure, the new DLSS multiple frame generation exclusive to 50-series could tip the scales in favor of the 5050 if you aren't opposed to using that feature. Maybe the 4060 pre-built deals are going away... but a 5060 is only $50 more than the 5050's MSRP.
I think Skytech might have better build quality and standard parts compared to HP and Acer, which could make it easier to upgrade later.
So it is what it is, not horrible for someone with basic needs who doesn't want to build it themselves, not too exciting. 16 GB DDR5 is a little low but can be upgraded years later when we see a cyclical dip in memory prices making it cheap to grab 32/48/64/96/128 GB... all of which can be reached with just 2 DIMMs.

In other words, this is a good gaming card, and can do vastly more than casually play games. No, it's not a 5060Ti, but it's a lot cheaper too.

If I were you I'd check if your apps can use nVidia GPUs for acceleration; if they don't, you don't need a machine with a GPU; the built-in iGPU in Intel processors is often more than enough.
