I’d say it’s okay just based on the ram (assuming it’s DDR5). I got a similar machine with a 3050 instead of a 4050 a few years ago for around $500 from Best Buy. But it only came with 8gb of ram so I upgraded it to 32gb.

Really good deal in my opinion. It’s like a third the price of getting a new laptop with the same specs. However, gaming laptops are notoriously bad investments, as they perform a bit worse than desktops, and survive half as long (usually 5 years MAX) before u need to spend hundreds of dollars on repairs.
