Other than those issues, this laptop seems quite capable. I'm not too picky, but the backlit keyboard is decent, and it comes with a number pad. Yes, the construction is plastic, but it's sturdy enough. I'm not purposely trying to bend it like reviewers on Youtube do. Speakers have a wide soundstage but lack bass, which is typical for most laptops. At the end of the day, if you're just looking for a decent laptop to do everyday things, this is a very good value and can serve you for probably the next 5-7 years (or longer if you're stingy like me).
Not going to get into the CPU-centric performance: it is a powerhouse. It is known.
Regarding the iGPU: very impressive, and options to increase performance from stock. Windows power plan has a setting to allow higher performance when plugged in. AMD software allows you to "allocate" up to 4GB as "VRAM.". This isn't actually necessary... the system will allocate system ram as VRAM as a game requires it (and beyond 4GB), but some games will refuse to run if they do not see X amount of VRAM, and there seem to be some other minor positives re: 1% lows etc when doing this.
I didn't check the bios to see if you can "allocate 8GB" as some people do -- because it is not beneficial.
Furthermore, the AMD software has advanced alot since this iGPU came out. There are now options to increase performance and/or battery life via driver-level upscaling (is the game doesn't need to support it natively); dynamic resolution (software will drop Rez when necessary to keep frame rate), and this tech that claims to reduce frame rate based on what you are doing in-game... thereby saving power. This could be great for a top-down 4X game, when you aren't moving the map.
All told this system can run games about as fast as a 1050ti - 1650. It meets the recommend requirements for just about every game from mid/late 2010's; it will run new games at reduced settings.
What else do you want for $425??
Also, regarding it's wireless card: I have had 0 problems. I can stream Cyberpunk with path tracing from another PC, to this machine, wirelessly, without any problem. No problems using speed test or stability tests (ping).
A really good deal 👍

I'm not trying to tell you what you need, but for anyone else considering - wifi 5 is faster than what you can get from your ISP; there are benefits to 6/7 over 5, but 5 is still really good!
I'm thinking of getting it but afraid about the build quality.
BUY BUY BUY..
Forget support. You won't get any. But the value proposition is there.
The iGPU is only 10% or so slower than a 1050ti mobile.
The screen is probably trash, but who knows. I'd roll them dice.
On slickdeals, the best and cheapest option in the last week or so is probably this one,

Sad new is that this should be a 500 dollar computer, not a 650 dollar computer, but tariffs you know. Everything is up 25% or so in costs compared to last year.

It seems some online information I can find, it's a lower TDP lock on the cpu perhaps than other 6800h models. You get maybe 75% of the 6800h maxed TDP performance.
We'll see.
My main worry based on reviews is if the Wificard is too trash (not upgradable), and if the screen has <100% srgb @ 6-bit, it might look pretty awful.

Sorry, I'm not trying to be a dick. But comments like these mystify me.
