I'd say yes.
You'd hardly find a 14" gaming oriented laptop. The ones that come to mind right off the bat are the ROG Zephyrus G14 (which I posted recently) and the Predator triton 300 SE.

All of them linger around this price point except for when you can find them open-box. No 14" laptop would have a full wattage 3060 as the main purpose for such laptops is to be thin and light and allow moderate-somewhat heavy gaming. The chassis won't be able to handle a full wattage 3060 and would throttle to its death.

That being said, out of all those this x14 and the 300 SE would come on top. x14 has the best build quality out of all three, better battery, better look (in my opinion), brighter screen (Acer's is sharper though, with FHD+) and a much more powerful chip and faster RAM, as well as better selection of ports. Only the G14 has RAM upgradeability while the rest do not, a con that's not surprising considering these need to be thin ad light.

In the 14" laptop niche, this probably sits on close second, if not the top.

I actually reviewed this laptop for Best Buy. You can find my review if you sort by "Most Helpful" and look for my username.

IMHO, you have to understand that this is going to be a limited 60W TGP with dynamic boost up to 85W. What it does in such a small chassis, is actually quite impressive. It's really a 1080p focused laptop when it comes to gaming, but if you want to do some productivity tasks, it can definitely hang with the 20 threads in the Core i7-12700H. I ended up upgrading mine to a single 2TB drive since I wanted more than the included 512GB storage.

Unfortunately, all the RAM is soldered. So you're stuck with 16GB. But it's otherwise been a joy to use as long as you don't mind the limited port selection.

They have a satisfactory open box one for 750 near me. Guessing the display model? Kinda tempting.
Thoughts?

Screaming deal. I think Ill wait for the 4060 version but saw this in person recently and it really is crazy how thin yet capable it is.

I used to have an Alienware m11x and this is basically the same footprint but one third the thickness

I'm curious: What's the purpose of buying 14" gaming laptop, tho? I mean, do they buy this small thing and connect to bigger screen???
