Definitely, but it also shaves off a pound compared to other laptops, so you gain portability, but loose performance. Either way there's a lack of benchmarks and reviews, so I can't say how much performance you loose.

Per rruff:
There is no such thing as "standard wattage" for 3000 series cards. 2000 series had MaxQ and "everything else" which narrowed it down a little.
----
3000 series cards have an optional feature whereby they can boost to a higher power level if the CPU demand is low. For instance the max on a 3060 is 115W-130W, where that extra 15W is the extra boost.
USING 2060 115 watts as base at 100%
3060@60W= 94%
3060@75 W = 100% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU for $1300 at COSTCO)
2060@115W= 100%
3060@90 W = 105% (75 Base Watts+15 watts boost, (inserted by RussianBytes MSI "GF75 Thin Gaming Laptop" RTX 3060 GPU, $1300 COSTCO)
2070@115W= 110% (inserted by RussianBytes for MSI "GE75 Gaming Laptop" RTX 2070 for $1,200 at COSTCO)
2060 $115 watts AND further undervolting and overclocking: 110%
3060@115W= 115%
2070S@115W= 120%
Patiently waiting for the Legin 5 Pro to become available. May even go with the G17 Strix since it comes with the full 3070.

What's the point of only one being upgradable? You lose the dual channel benefit. I really don't understand ASUS's engineer now. Not wise, at least.
