I know Gigabyte has some decent machines, but are they made by Gigabyte themselves?

If you look inside it might say amd, Nvidia. All jokes aside, probably still made by gigabyte but not the same level of quality as before. A lot of their production went to another country.

1x USB 2.0 (Type-A)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen1 (Type-A)
1 x USB 3.2 Gen2 (Type-A)

I'm tired of these trash ports, usb 2.0 shouldn't even be on here. Should have only 3.2 gen2 and thunderbolt / usb-c ports only.

USB-C is just a port type, have nothing to do with what it actually can do.

The acer predator triton that was here a month or two ago was a better deal.

USB 3.2 gen 2 is 10gb/s unless stated otherwise, they combined lanes to give 20gb/s throughput on the usb-c. One usb-c is a joke when theres usb 2.0 and a usb 3 gen1 included. There's no excuse for junk ports on a laptop in this price range.

Wait for Black Friday. 3070s and even 3080s will be around this price once the 4080 releases.

So newbie question as someone that has been on macOS for all of their adult life and for over a decade: how does one know how reliable a gaming laptop (or desktop, for that matter) is going to be based on the hardware?

I'm looking to replace a 2017 15" MBP and one reason I'm looking at Windows again is for gaming. But I see a lot of decent spec units from reputable/reliable brands, like Lenovo and Dell, but I still see people poopoo-ing the deal due to "thermal throttling." I know the basics of that term but are people saying this based on anecdotes from users on forums or are there reputable testers on YT or on websites that are testing it and proving it? Or can an experienced person look at the CPU/GPU combo and then the cooling hardware, etc. and just know it's going to be overheating?

I don't know what my budget is but I've looked at an XPS 15 since I still want a professional looking notebook and would rather not have RBG lights everywhere when I take it out the house.
