I will say a major downside to this computer is upgradability. Not to say you can't upgrade things like RAM and add additional nvme storage, but the motherboard is mounted upside down (part of the cooling configuration) so you have to fully remove the motherboard to upgrade which is more challenging
for example the 3060 can have 60,65,70,80,85,90,95,100,105,110 and 115w caps which effects how that device will function. 3070 laptops are also all over the place with some at 85 watts (Acer nitro 5), 90, 95, 100,105,110,115,125,130, 140 and apparently some 145watt units. comparing a 90 watt and a 140 watt 3070 would give you vastly different results, now trying to compare that to an AMD 6700m and... well .. you get the picture
This laptop fulfilled 3 things I needed in a new "gaming laptop". minimalistic appearance so can still be used as a professional laptop in an office setting easily. thin and light... and full size keyboard, not the stupid small keyboard with the useless (to me) number pad on the right side.

Since this specific laptop is fairly thin and light and doesn't use the full 135W power limit, it appears that a fully powered 6700m vs 3070 mobile would be closer. I'd also note that he includes several NVIDIA favored/sponsored titles in his test suite (Control, Metro Exodus, Fortnite).
If considering similarly priced RTX 3060 laptops vs this, I'd choose this since the RTX 3060 mobile has weaker performance and is limited to 6GB of VRAM which doesn't cut it in many demanding new games, even at 1080p. 8GB of VRAM for 1080p and 10-12GB of VRAM for 1440p seems to be the sweet spot for new releases.
In case it helps, here's a 45 game benchmark for the desktop counterparts since we don't have many good mobile benchmarks available (and mobile benchmarks are notoriously difficult to do properly). https://www.techspot.co

Even my work laptops for engineering have been over 5 lbs and don't even have a discrete GPU lol.
