Good price, decent laptop, It's not the best laptop at the best price ever, but it's about as good as it gets at this price outside of pricing errors.
This laptop would be fine for that, and you wont regret it, depending on what you prioritize. Although I want this laptop it wont suit my needs so let me tell you what my thought process is when buying a laptop to maybe help you out.
I need to do the same things you listed just with a few other priorities, and for myself I think either a XPS, LG gram laptop or Macbook will do it all for me. I figured this out by making a priority list of what is important to me.

Here is my priority:

Battery life
Portability
Performance
Screen quality

I move around a lot with my laptop so this one will be a pain to move around with, and the battery life is okay at best.

I'm personally going to try Macbook out for the first time in my life as I really need it to be light and have a long lasting battery, and the M1 chipset seems to do well in everything that I need.
The LG gram and XPS will also do it all for me, but the battery life is much better on the Macbook and the M chipset is really powerful even in the macbook airs.

Rest assured if you're just going to be stationary then this laptop will be just fine, and this laptop is relatively small compared to other laptops with similar specs, but after having a lightweight laptop provided by my job, I can't go back to big clunky laptops with giant battery blocks for productivity reasons. For gaming I have a desktop, but a powerful gaming laptop wouldnt hurt either.

The games that I will be playing in the future are lightweight and do not require typical triple A game hardware, so these will easily run:

League of legends
Diablo 4

The macbook should be able to run both of these and that's more than enough for me.

Hope this might have helped you, and if you do get this laptop then it will be wonderful!

Also when I spend around $1000 I will go to my local bestbuy and check these laptops out in person. This laptop listed here is really nice, and has a good enough build quality. I'd advise you to do the same.

Yes, as long as you are still in the return window. I just got off the phone with them to do a price adjustment refund. Bought mine last week for $1199.

Quote from MagentaPlant7587 :
the Legions will perform better in games because of the 3060s they are the full power ones (140W). Zephyrus would be better for portability

Thanks a lot for the answer. Appreciate you.

This one only has 1 M2 slot and RAM upgradable to 24GB max. Keep this in mind if anyone want to buy and upgrade later

Quote from KryoPhoenix :
Yeah I think you are mixing the two up. VRAM is the video RAM which is dedicated to the graphics card. However, RAM which is the upgradable portion is what is recommended on this unit. Typically it has been proven to give a performance boost of ~20%. The problem is that the 2X8GB single rank RAM provided was causing a performance bottleneck.
I wasn't mixing up ram and vram, I simply got thr included vram amount wrong. It is twice as much as 3060 and 50% more than 3070.

If you are within return period you should be able to get an adjustment. Check your receipt.

I know and that what I thought too, it's pretty odd right?. But the specs on BestBuy says max upgradable RAM is 24GB and other sites too (try to search for model GA402RJ-G14.R96700 specs).

Quote from zephyretta :
One of the stick is upgradeable, other is soldered. So you can replace one of 8gb to 16gb and have 24gb for example.
Will this take a 32gig mem stick for 40gb total?


[edit]

Nevermind, I should reload the page and read everything laugh out loud

How lappable is this? In other words, if I plan to do software development and sites/pdf 90% of the time, is this going to be cool and comfortable on my lap on a couch? I was thinking of also getting the Lenovo Slim Pro X but it supposedly has heaps of QC issues and only 5-7 hours of battery life. I hate the material on T14 Gen 3, wish it was aluminum and the screens are terrible to me on them.

its definitely going to be hot. i suggest having something on your lap as the bottom does get hot. i have laptop sleeve meant for that purpose and works well.

on silent mode with cpu boost disable, the fan is not going to run on normal case. the laptop allows high temps to run fanless, battery life improved but it will be hot since no fan running.

Is it possible to just disable the dGPU and use the integrated 680M when Dorgeth needs it on lap?

Well yeah it has mux switch but the cpu still gets hot when the fan is not running, makesure to disable cpu boost (search reddit need registry edit)

Turbo ensures fan will run but battery will definitely take a hit. Still good battery though relatively
