What is Reddit's opinion of CUK Stratos Micro Gaming Desktop (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, Intel 24-Core i9-13900KF Processor (> Ryzen 9 5950X), 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB NVMe SSD + 3TB HDD, W11H) Gamer PC Computer?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I am speaking from actual experience.

Mobile Workstation that my boss got for me that I mentioned ± $3,500

Prebuilt Gaming PC with 3090, etc. $3,500

"Souped-up gaming laptop" $3,600

In terms of performance, all I can do is speak from experience having both the first laptop mentioned, and a custom PC with the same specs as that pre-built.

With the laptop that has an 8GB card, vs the desktop which has a 24GB Card, the differences in performance are substantially different despite having the same cost. If OP were to go with a 6GB 3060, then that would obviously be an even larger drop in performance. Render times are already about 2-3x longer on the Laptop, vs the desktop from my experience.

The Souped-up gaming laptop linked above has the option for a 16GB 3080. Point being is that they are all priced around the same range.

That pre-built costs $800 less than what the same rig cost me last January, so prices are going down. I did not say that they were back to MSRP prices, just dropping from the all-time high of price gouging.

If OP wants to go with a mobile 3060 that's below the standard path tracing requirements, then more power to them. They just may end up being disappointed in the long run.

They are asking for advice. No need to be aggressively dismissive.
