I do appreciate your posts Dr.W!
Unfortunately, I'd be weary of this specific model if it includes the 135W charger and the BIOS doesn't allow for higher wattage chargers. Yes, that would be specifically for users that are heavy on gaming (even plugged in). The 5050 is 95W per the Walmart link, so that leaves 40W for the rest of the system (which might not be enough since the Ryzen 240 has a 45W TDP[techpowerup.com])
The OP in the thread above had an older variant with the 4060 and i7, but according to the report, his friend bought the model with the 8845HS and had a similar issue.

Great note, and keep in mind TDP =/= power consumption, so the CPU could easily be eating more power than that during heavy loads
