Seems like a good deal. Any downsides I'm overlooking?

The screen is low quality, 300 nits brightness and only 45% NTSC/60% sRGB color spectrum. There are only two video output ports, and the USB-C video output connects directly to the Intel iGPU, so you'll need to use the HDMI 2.1 port to connect a monitor for full performance. The GPU is limited to 80 watts. There is no advanced Optimus, but there is a MUX switch(you can reboot to get full gaming performance on the laptop screen, then reboot to switch back to iGPU mode for battery life).

Beyond those downsides, it's not bad. The cooling is good, the battery life is good (for a 13th gen Intel laptop). There are two RAM spots and an extra NVMe SSD slot, though it does only support single sided SSDs in the second slot.

If you're going to use it connected to a 1080p monitor for gaming and movies, then edit office documents and browse the web when on the go, it should be fine. It's not a bad deal for a budget gaming laptop.

However, for just $50 more you can get an Asus Tuf with an RTX 4060 or a Lenovo LOQ with an RTX 5050. If you can afford it, those are both better options.
