I saw a video about that config with a peek on its internals. Do you think this is a ok laptop?

Don't worry, I won't gonna buy it. It is just looks good to be true.

for less than $1000 it's a good one.

Tested one recently and it's decent for an entry level model. But the one u linked looks like has a poor quality 120Hz 45% screen

There is a config that has a better screen?

Yes indeed. The cooling is bad, look at these threads complaining about the thermal:

It's not overheated (yet) but the thermal config makes the low power head room 90W RT3060 even lower.
