Watched the stream, doesn’t look like a good choice. It had numerous issues with software and drivers.
The temps were out of control, to the point of thermal throttle and then slide show stuttering in some games.
He can’t update the driver, when he did it causes a black screen and forced him to use an external monitor to remove the driver and revert to the Dell driver. This also meant he was not able to access the adrenaline software, so no using those features or tinkering or overclock/undervolt.
No FreeSync or adaptive sync support available according to him. For this price? That is unacceptable. Almost all Nvidia GPU based laptops outside of MSI now have G-Sync, even the 4050 laptops.
Games crashed when they overheated. He used the silent profile which heavily limits the power to keep the laptop stable.
Basically this needs a lot more time in the oven. Terrible buy over an Nvidia GPU for similar price.
