Is the chassis good for longevity?

The Taiwan model is a 4GB 3050, which is slower than the newer 6GB version.

Didn't notice this was 60Hz FHD OLED, they really need to get rid of those screens.

The audio sounds like absolute shit when someones speaking in a youtube vid. Coming from a macbook m1 max idk if i'll be using the speakers on this thing very much.
I did turn off enhanced audio in settings and at least now it doesnt sound blown out. Read online this is a common problem with windows laptops. Shame.
The screen is plenty bright and i'll mainly be using it for audio production, development, and graphic design, so more than 60hz is not really a big deal. the 1080 is better than i thought it would be too. Fine for a laptop for my use cases. Any graphic design work i'll do will be set up on an external 4k screen anyways.
The keyboard feels a little cheap but im actually pretty impressed by it. Very comfy to type on, and the added numpad on a mac is very welcome. Trackpad is also pretty large and nice.. i guess
My first windows machine in a long time. I still use apple but have been needing a windows rig. Seems perfect for that.
That being said, im heavily considering returning it because of the atrocious audio and it being refurbished instead of just an open box return. Or maybe thats what best buy means by open box units i guess. Although, there is that beefy dell g16 thats currently on sale.... might go for that.

I also do some 3D work and some visual work with Touchdesigner, both utilizing Nvidia GPU's for some things.
