The specs for the laptop you’re interested in are pretty close to the ones for the Acer Nitro 5 (2020 model, Intel i5 10300H processor, NVIDIA HTX 1650 with 4 GB RAM). I wrote about it here:

I’ve had it only a few days, but I’m enjoying it. It runs circles around my previous Windows laptop (my work-issued machine is a MacBook Pro), my trusty ThinkPad T430 with 16GB RAM, especially since I used my Amazon points to bump the RAM up to the maximum 32 GB. I’ve been using it to build Android and Flutter mobile apps, learning Unity, Spring Boot/Kotlin web applications, and some Jupyter Notebook work. It also does a lovely job of playing GTA V.

It looks like I don't have an option to bump the RAM up and there's only the 8GB variant for the model you mentioned. I hope there won't be any drastic performance difference between i5 and Ryzen 5 4600H
The i5 10300H and Ryzen 5 4600H are pretty similar, according to the data on UserBenchmark:
