TL;DR Can you turn this into a Steam Deck Dev Machine ++ AMD HIP/ROCM/HSA dev machine and then test gaming and compute performance?
=-_-======\Original ADHD Rant Below/===================================
Can you test:
1) AMD HIP performance in Blender with this laptop? That's the big kicker for a few friends (and friends kids) who are finally going to school or back to school for their hobby.
I feel they need a gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU for basic Blender stuff for classes and hobbies -- but I'm curious to see if HIP can use the GPU + CPU together to render decently well (within a budget) when compared to a gaming rig or something with a low-end nVidia MX GPU)
2) Darktable 4.0 OpenCL performance w/the latest rocm opencl drivers from the 5.2.1 release?
3) Gaming performance with FSA on using HoloISO to install the latest SteamOS zomg. (OK maybe that is a specific drool-worthy request that should go to a gaming-focused site maybe? But not sure where to ask lul)
Or even better: HoloISO installed, gaming tests under the Gamescope/SteamOS compositor with FSA enabled vs. under KDE Plasma ++ AMD ROCM/HIP/HSA SDKs installed ++ testing the Blender Cycles HIP performance ++ Darktable OpenCL performance --- BASICALLY turning this into a gaming ++ productivity ++ "life/photo management" laptop.

-- I've done this with a Raven Ridge based Athlon 3050U 2 Cores ++ 2 Vega CU ++ 32GB RAM ++ 1TB nvme laptop and am curious to see how an actually unleashed mobile device platform... Yeah, its cool watching radeontop and bashtop show my compiler pushing its doodads into those 2 Vega CUs (platform-limited to 1100MHz+2400MHz DDR4 RAM) --- but it would be even cooler with this laptop!
Only thing I have not done... benchmarks... mostly because this is like Mendocino but worse. It seems like it would be unreasonable for someone to use an Athlon 3050U as a gaming platform. Then again -- if there is an openbenchmarking run I can duplicate, screw it, might as well xD
