There a shortage of 3xxx so nvidia is bringing back some 2xxx cards to cover for people that need/want a gaming laptop now. Not sure if that was for desktop, laptop or both... Can look it up on Google.

Just looked at gpu check for the benchmarks on this gpu, pretty decent I'd say this just for the gpu alone, laptop seems meh otherwise.

This GF64 series laptop have 60w TDP gpu so around 20MHs. You need to get 115w TDP gpu which is on GE and GP series. 115w TDP gets around 35MHs(40~45MHs oc).
Also dont get Asus TUF laptop with 3060. They have 90w TDP gpu.
Get Tongfang oem laptop. They have 115w tdp gpu.

I am currently using MSI GF65 Thin 10UE-089, which has i5 10200 CPU and the same 3060 max-q for mining. I am getting 36ish MH/s with GPU memory o'clocked +400 and core clock -100. The GPU power usage is around 75W.

Just a warning here - MSI hinges are notorious for breaking/cracking resulting in your screen potentially separating. I found out too late, but according to many of the fixes presented online it's a combination of them tightening them too much, and cheap plastic connecting them underneath even on their higher-end models.

So question out of all these high end laptops any of them have a really good basic built in speaker systems? I ask because my old Dell xps l702x just sounds amazing for a laptop but I wanna replace it of course.

The 2070 will outperform the 3060, at least according to Userbenchmark (https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-RTX-3060-Laptop-vs-Nvidia-RTX-2070-Mobile/m1452971vsm694798).

I've got an Alienware m15 r1 that I love - the only issue is the cooling, which the r3 has evidently addressed in impressive fashion.

Downsides of the Alienware are soldered WLAN and RAM and an upside-down motherboard configuration.

I'd give the advantage to the Alienware.
