Fhd isn't good enough for 14 inch screen????
It's plenty fine at 14. What kills the deal is the absolutely ancient four year-old chip.
For $550 new, this is pretty good, even if a little old.
Zen 4 on DDR5 will also circles around Zen 3.

780m is on parity with 1050 Ti by all objective averages. They trade across games due to AMD vs Nvidia arch differences. CPU bottleneck on Zen 3 vs Zen 4 would all but guarantee that a 7840HS or 8840HS will be faster at gaming while blowing this laptop out of the water in terms of battery life.
In some games the 780M is only about 5-10% slower, in most it's 25% slower, in a few I've seen it's over 50% slower.
Here a video for your viewing pleasure (780M vs. 3050 vanilla 35w). And the 780 is paired with a 7940HS, while the 3050 is with a 5600U.

Please delete your wrong posts in shame instaed of misleading others,
Which would bring up another question...Why in the world (with gaming in mind, since you did actually refer to that) did you think ANY CPU combo with a 1050 TI class GPU would be a better choice than a 5800U/3050 TI to game on? That's so far off from the truth and the way bottlenecks factor into the equation it's beyond bad advice. Please don't advise others on tech, not until you learn a bit more at least.
But you'll be glad to know I'm done here. I don't want to make this into a page simply full of snark. You can have the last post, I can tell you're the type that would have to have it.
