EDIT: I was wrong, it has 2 m.2 slots.
I can see it has a better CPU and better spec screen at 240hz QHD. My question is reliability and build quality. I know anyone can get a lemon at any time, but maybe someone here has insight?
If the chip quality is good, and the cooling is good, then might be able to overclock the GPU and get more performance out of it while maintaining the same TDP of 110w or so.
4070s are 15-20% faster than 4060s though, so if gaming is your priority, keep that in mind.
Another thing about the power limit... usually they are 115W+25W boost to give 140W total. If you want max OC performance it's best to stick with that so the GPU can use 115W even with significant CPU loads.

Apparently someone was able to overclock a 4060 in a thin gaming laptop with +300 core and +1300 memory with MSI Afterburner. It puts it right up there with the 4070, because like you said, they're voltage limited.
The 4060 and 4070 are in a weird spot since the 4080 gaps them both quite significantly. Spending extra for a 4070 only to get less than 10 more FPS isn't really a good performance/dollar, especially for my criteria of 17" screen and 10-key numpad required.
I missed the Acer deal on Amazon, that would've been the best buy for the money at the time, but seeing that this laptop has a much faster CPU with 12 cores, 240hz qhd, but same GPU for $100 more than the current price, It felt like a no brainer. I just hope the build quality is good since it's the flagship line.
