What games do you plan on playing? 2GB of VRAM is a low for today's modern games.

Other than that, everything seems fine for gaming.

In general, around 2-3GB of VRAM should be the minimum.

If you knew what games you would play, I'd tell you the VRAM required for them. But obivously I can not, which is ok.

It won't be that great because it is single channel RAM and the 2 gigs of VRAM on a laptop version can be pretty limiting. Budget? Location? Where can you order from?

It's still 16GB of DDR4 though.

It is good and all that 16 gigs is there, but Single Channel RAM is always below Dual Channel in terms of performance. So regardless of 16 gigs being available, if you can find a laptop with dual channel RAM always go for it. Single Channel RAM should be the last option.
