It does not, because it doesn't even have ANY USB-C port! The Office Depot specs are wrong. I can confirm from handling this in-store, no USB-C port at all. OP, please fix your description.

The Dells can be ordered with IPS display (Dell calls is WVA but is the same - on the first one you linked it's an upcharge). This OD Lenovo has a (much worse) TN display.

No this doesn’t perform as well as a discreet gtx 1650. Mx350 maybe. Soldered ram ( 8gb isn’t enough to realize the true potential of this chip). You can add more but not running in dual channel mode.
