Although the G5 15's base model is good, it becomes a better deal if you're willing to spend a little more money.

In specs it says USB-C gen2/Displayport. Should work at 144Hz if get a USB-C to Displayport cable.

To learn more, input USB Type C to Displayport.

True, won't know until you try it. I have helped people on various laptop models with USBC video capable ports and it was fine for them. Usually laptop's dedicated GPU display runs through the iGPU protocol so performance should still be available when it is set in performance options. The only draw back is Freesync/Gsync feature in monitors require direct connection to the graphics card to work, and in case for laptops, is rare.

Knowing it's a laptop I wasn't aiming for Gsync anyways 😀 Thanks for your help!

Based on your laptop, you'll need either a USB-C to DP or HDMI to DP active adapter. They should do the trick since HDMI will only cap at 60Hz or 120Hz but at 640x480 / 800x600 / 1024x768. The full timing table can be found here for your reference:
