LOL, thought not.
An ultrabook cannot be a gaming or productivity powerhouse. It's just not possible with today's tech. There are thermal limits to cramming in an RTX 5060 or more into such a thin chassis. Even the best thin gaming laptops are typically thermal-limited mobile GPUs, with lower peak power limits than their chunkier cousins. The best you can get with a thin-and-light is going to be an AI Max 395, but good luck getting one for under $1500. Those perform somewhere in the range of a RTX 5050 or 4060, you're paying a premium for the thin-and-light body.
I see some complaints about the 60hz screen, but we're talking about a laptop that can currently be had for $474 in Open-Box excellent, shipped, anywhere. I've also seen many Best Buys near me with Good and Fair condition open-box.
This is overall a good deal if you really want OLED for ~$500. The rest of the specs are perfectly adequate for a little bit of everything. Just don't expect it to be a powerhouse with that 6-core CPU. (3x Zen 5, 3x Zen 5c CPU) It's perfectly adequate for most basic tasks. The 840m is not an impressive iGPU, and seems to have similar raw power to a Steam Deck. Games that are more CPU-intensive will run better here with the newer Zen 5 cores, but GPU-heavy titles will probably end up running similar to a Steam Deck or the new ROG Xbox Ally. (Not the Z2E X model!) If you use some aggressive upscaling, most games will be playable. Just don't be shocked when it runs UE5 games like crap, because that engine runs like crap on everything.
My one warning here is that this series of Lenovo laptops has recently come under criticism for weak hinges. I'd recommend treating this laptop gingerly, never putting it in a bag without adequate protection. I see people trash laptops constantly with those stupid laptop sleeves. Those almost never have adequate corner padding.

But feel free to find a comparable machine at a comparable price point with unsoldered RAM.
Fun fact, anytime shows up with an "Um, Actually" it is never helpful and even less often relevant...
*No point trying to debate such a shallow thought process, clearly they are looking for anything that supports the gut feeling they had before their holy quest seeking any and all forms of confirmation bias the internet could offer....

The worst thing Lenovo has are their docks. Biggest POS.
My work Thinkpad kept on (1) beeping that USB device was attached; and (2) one monitor (of dual setup) turning off and then back on ("flickering" , but slowly). One was plugged into the HDMI port, so it was not the HDMI > DP adapter. I have no issues with cheap aftermarket USB-C hubs for my Thinkbook. Granted, it could have been all the emails that I had open bogging down the memory and causing the "flickering".
Dells have horrible entry-level monitors. My work sent me 2 that were basically unusable due to the fuzzy resolution. I pulled out 2 15-year old Dell monitors (probably entry-level in 2010), and they worked great.
