I hope this isn't a stupid question: I'm looking for a gaming laptop and stumbled across this one:

But it seems too cheap to me. All others in this price range have less good components. Do you think that's just because it's an unknown brand? Do you know the brand? And can you tell me something about it? And would you not take the risk in the end because the keyboard is maybe really bad or it starts to break after a few months?
The RTX 3060 and 1000GB SSD are really tempting at the price.
Is good, although you don't know how good the cooling design is.
But it should be good and have a good cooling design:
When it comes to gaming notebooks, it's always a matter of how the components "harmonize". Everything can go well, or even after half a year packing around and constantly going out because of overheating, for example. About the price also seems a bit Spanish to me, especially because of the 3060. Do you know whether this is any B-goods? Not or?
I found the following comment on a website
"Absolute horror. Can only advise against buying it. Overheating all the time, turning off all the time. It's a shame to install graphics cards like this in such a bad laptop."

Good components built in but saved in the wrong places…

Who knows whether they have improved or not, the comment is from mid-2020 which was not too long ago.
Important for gaming laptops: A 3060 in a laptop is not the same as in a stand pc. Especially with the current generation of GPUs, there are enormous differences of 30 to 50%
There are 3060 mobile GPUs with a power consumption of 60 to 115 watts, and the differences in performance are correspondingly large. The desktop version draws max 170W
Here is an article that lists all Q-Max / P-Max and other mobile variations of the 3000 series below.

That doesn't mean the laptop is a bad deal, but it does mean that you have to look carefully at which version of the graphics card is in it
, I once relied on the notebookcheck test report, the temperatures there are not the best, but still okay for a laptop.
The already commented overheating problems are always a thing with supposedly cheap laptops. People like to save because most customers don't even notice when the computer is running a little slower than it could
The notebook 3060 is much slower and has only half as much vram as the PC version. And the built-in processor is also rather meeh. So the offer is not that cool either
Ah ok, that's exactly what I feared.
