Very good price for the specs! I got the 16" Dell 2-n-1 which has same CPU RAM SSD and screen resolution. I gave the Ultra 7 155H CPU + iGPU a chance at playing some games since Intel is marketing the iGPU as good for some games. It actually is comparable to a discrete video card NVIDIA 1050 Ti max-q mobile, based on performance test results and what I felt playing some games. I was able to play some games:
MineCraft with default 40 chunks. This is a game almost any PC can play, some with more chunks (see further) than others. Having 40 chunks is very good game play. I had a world where I raised cows and chickens and sheep and turning to watch them on an older gaming desktop (1060 3GB) that slowed down the game play due to having to render all those moving animals, not this machine.
Deliver us Mars (3D exploration and puzzle solving that involves some keyboard+mouse skills) with 1280*960 windowed resolution and low setting. quite playable but not as detailed compared with playing on an RX 6650 XT on a desktop with epic settings and 1440p. This is a 2023 game that requires discrete video cards. Nice model for hair strands but I didn't attempt it on the laptop. Read the requirements at the bottom:

Eve online (3D space game in which you rotate pan zoom your view a lot) with 1200p and high/custom settings 60FPS with GPU at 70% to 100% and fan on high. Decent even though it takes a moment to load graphics when you jump into a star gate which doesn't affect your game play. You can see the requirement for this game is about 1050 ti max-q mobile level as well:

Ghostrunner is from 2020 and requires GTX630 full screen epic quality, GPU at 100% not sure of the frame rate but was smooth enough to play.

Some of these games are free to play so there is NO reason not trying some of these games and see for yourself how the processor handles games. Admittedly my Dell is bigger in size so more vents and larger fans are assumed. It also comes with a 100W USB-C charger, which is nice.
I didn't try any 2D games assuming they don't require much and also tried strategy game homeworld desert, which plays fine.

Btw, how are people taking advantage of 165 Hz screen without a dedicated gpu?

Apart from that, the higher refresh rate would be noticeable in daily tasks like switching between applications, scrolling, etc despite 165Hz being way overkill for that.
Creators can also reap the benefits of a higher refresh rate display.

MSI Claw has this cpu and the ROG Ally with Z1 Xtreme is much better.
Intel may be "technically" more powerful, but intel's drivers are very bad in comparison to the AMD drivers. Just google any comparisons.
I wouldn't buy this cpu for gaming. Rather, some gaming is possible. Also, 165Hz is to make this dog look pretty, but ultimately a waste... and a waste on battery.
