A:AnswerThis RTX 3060 has a base setting of 80 watts, however it does include Dynamic Boost 2.0 which adds an additional 15 watts while gaming or performing other intensive tasks. Do note that Nvidia has chosen to forego the Max-Q/Max-P nomenclature unfortunately so it's more difficult to know which is which unless you really do some digging. Here's an article with more details:

A:Answeryes but you only have one slot, 8GB is soldered on mainboard. Also you will not have full dual channel speed, If you put in a 16 or higher memory will be in flex memory mode. the soldered ram and the first 8GB of the 16 will be dual channel the second 8gb of the sodimm will be in single channel mode, end result you will have around 75 percent of full dual channel memory perfomance, Also you need to make sure the memory you buy is SINGLE RANK 3200 sodimm ram...
A:AnswerIt states it in the overview:
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 graphics
Backed by 6GB GDDR6 dedicated video memory for an ultrafast, advanced GPU to fuel your games.
A:AnswerComes with a standard 1 year warranty, with the option to add up to 3 years additional coverage through GeekSquad. Note that this is to the best of my knowledge here in the US, may or may not be different in other countries.
A:AnswerIn most games yes it will perform better. Most games do not utilize multiple cores very well. If you plan on streaming or adding a second monitor for additional applications I would upgrade to Ryzen 5000H series. I preordered the TUF with the I7 11th gen RTX 3070 because I will game with minimal background applications (browser and discord). Plus if this truly is the MAX-P 3060/3070 this laptop will be a beast especially for the price!!
A:AnswerMost likely, but anyhow I would wait so you can see exactly how fast its actually going to be compared to other laptops also running a 3060. It's a great price so its probably going to be in the middle but for the price, its an amazing deal you are getting. If you decide you want something more powerful get a PC because for instance a 3060 desktop version is about 20% faster than the laptop version, for the same price.
A:AnswerYou can use software like MSI Afterburner to increase the wattage of the GPU, however be warned that doing so will nullify the manufacturer's warranty and you run the real risk of frying the laptop if you don't know what you're doing. I also want to point out that the 80 watts is just the "base power" setting, Nvidia does include DynamicBoost 2.0 with the new RTX 3060 GPUs which will increase the wattage by an additional 15w while doing "intensive" tasks like gaming. Finally, you should be aware that a GPU's value & performance isn't just about watts or frames-per-second, you also have to consider the fact that newer GPUs are built using better architecture (Volta vs Turing which is what the RTX 2060 uses) as well as the RTX 3060 has better support for other features like Ray Tracing, DLSS, etc. Hope this answer helps!

A:AnswerNvidia told sellers they did not have to state which version the graphics cards is, although I would say it is closer to the Max-Q variant. And the wattage is 85.
A:AnswerYou cannot change the color which is a ight green tint. There are three brightness levels and three modes however, Breathing, Strobe and Static.
