Also, is it better to assembly a laptop myself ?

The only company that offers this is Framework, but they don't have anything that could reasonably called a gaming laptop.

I haven't bought anything yet.
Right now, I'm considering these two:
- Zephirus g14 WHITE from 2021 (ryzen 7 +rtx3060 ) for 1000 eur
- ASUS strix scar 15 (ryzen9 + rtx3070) for 1500 eur

I like zephirus g14, because it is very elegant and beside being a powerful gaming laptop it is portable, lightweight and could also be used in professional settings.

However I feel the asus scar would trigger the more "nerdy" part of me,

-CONSIDERATIONS
-ASUS scar's ram can be upgraded up to 64gb (while zephyrus g14 only has 40gb max ram), which means it could still be usable in 10 years
-Zephyrus g14 is smaller and light-> more portable
-Zephyrus g14 doesn't come with ethernet port!!!
-Zephyrus g14 is less powerful (ryzen7 instead of ryzen9 and rtx3060 instead of rtx3070)

In the end I bought a Zephyrus g14 with rtx3060 and ryzen9
