Bought the following in the past two years:
Dell G5, Excellent - looked great but had bad screen bleed, returned.
Lenovo Thinkpad, Excellent - had a bunch of sticker residue and was creaking badly, returned.
Lenovo Flex, Satisfactory - was all scratched up, warranty had expired 3 months ago. Returned.
Lenovo Flex again, Excellent - was perfect and only 3 months old.
Chromebook 1, Excellent - was perfect in box, couldn't tell it was opened.
Chromebook 2, Excellent - was perfect in box, couldn't tell it was opened.
The above Asus, Satisfactory - was perfect in box, couldn't tell it was opened except that the charger was unwrapped and it was missing the soft screen cloth they put in for shipping. It was about 5 months old.
Best of luck! I think it is worth a try especially since they haven't given me any trouble at all with the returns (yet). The real annoyance is that the sale is usually over by the time you can try for another one.

Performance is too weak comparing with desktop counterpart.
They're not that really portable
Gaming does not have the urgent need to work on the go like business does
So what is the point of gaming laptop? Go with steam deck or a decent desktop.
Excuse my rant

Ok boomer. Enjoy your off-the-shelf AMD APU in a steam deck.

This was from results of LTT testing of 4k youtube streaming of the same model laptop. https://youtu.be/oyClS3qQV10?t=3
Just under double, whoops.
LPDDR4/5 uses 2-3 watts maximum, wifi modules are limited to far less than a watt.
A laptop display that's <17 inches uses 10-15 watts at max brightness which is a far cry from the draw of a cpu.
With how much of its performance the 6900 retain at low wattage [youtu.be], cutting back by 20-30watts of cpu power on light workloads is more than feasible.
