A big plus for Alza, they added 8GB RAM + screwdrivers as a gift so you can upgrade your NTB to 16GB RAM immediately. I use the NTB as a secondary gaming machine, I will always be a fan of the desktop: ) But since I'm on the road a lot, this buddy is more than suitable: ) It's snappy thanks to the pre-installed M.2 memory. There is also an HDD/SSD kit and a second M.2 slot for adding storage. You get the drivers on a CD with your laptop, but they are stored in the laptop's storage. After installing the drivers, you can delete them and since they are on a different partition of the disk, after deleting them you can expand the disk by that space (about 7 GB). So far I haven't had the slightest problem, it's super performance at a super price.
Price/performance
Nice keyboard with 4 color blocks
144hz image
Significantly more powerful Ryzen compared to i5/i7
RTX 3060 6GB
Overall nice look and performance
No OS, plus for customers who already have a Win license
Upgradeable RAM/HDD/SSD/M.2
Quiet running
Adapter connector located at the rear
USB 3.2 ports + USB-C connector
To upgrade the components you have to take off the whole bottom part, for some users this might be a problem, best to gently go around it with a thin pick
Someone could point out the plastic construction, but you have to treat this device normally: )
It's almost a necessity to get a cooling pad, one never knows
Maybe not enough USB ports, but that can be solved with a hub
Some might be bothered by the keyboard layout (small details are there), but I had no problem using it, it's easy to get used to

This is a "gaming" laptop, which on the one hand means that it is equipped with powerful HW but on the other often kitschy design and cheaper plastic design. In this case, the plastics aren't so bad. It doesn't look so duck-like and nothing bends too much (but forget about any rough handling). The 17" variant weighs +-3 kilos but it is bearable (compared to the variants a few years ago, the power supply is about a third of the weight. the surface has a glossy impression even in the matte variant and decals on the surface is completely unavoidable, the keyboard is functionally ok, only the key layout is not ideal, but that is always the case with most NBs unfortunately. The touchpad works well, it's big and responsive, it doesn't have buttons so it presses directly on the desktop but it works. The LCD is supposed to be IPS, but when viewed from the side, it loses colors similar to TN. On the other hand, it's fast, and in games, people probably appreciate it. It is quieter than my previous Asus TUF and seems to cool much better. The power is finally on the back again and not on the side, which is definitely a plus, and USB-C allows you to easily connect a hub. HW-wise, the performance of the 8 core ryzen with rtx3060 is excellent. Inside you can plug in 2 drives up to M2 and to them another sata 2.5" (unfortunately only 9mm version so classic hdd only up to 2TB but this is nowadays unfortunately the rule due to the width).
I myself bought a version without OS (I have it at work for free so why pay 2x) and only with 8GB ram and used 32BG memory from the previous computer and added HDD (there is a special accessory in the package). It runs beautifully smooth, video transfers have sped up by 40% and so far it hasn't overheated so I can only recommend it.
powerful ryzen 5800
powerful RTX 3060
price/performance ratio
possibility to buy without axes
2 ram slots
3 discs
seems to have good cooling
USB-C
3kg (but still fits in the backpack)
after all, it's just plastic, even though it looks pretty good, so you have to be careful with it
the keyboard layout is not ideal for me
to replace the ram or disk you need to remove the entire bottom
