Q: Is the 16 GB of 3200 mHz RAM soldered on or in replaceable SoDIMMS that can be upgraded?

A: Its 8GB soldered + 8 GB added externally on slot. You can upgrade by replacing the external one but not the soldered one

Q: Can I add an additional internal SSD (which type) ?

A: Yes the Asus TUF F15 has an additional SSD slot that's up to 1 TB, it's m.2 nvme.

Q: What is the power wattage of this 3060? Is it the Max P variant?

A: This 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: https://www.techspot.com/review/2193-geforce-rtx-3060-laptop/

Q: The picture of a laptop bottom does not seem to be the right one. Didn't they have the honeycomb design?

A: The images shown are correct. The honeycomb design is only available on the AMD Ryzen variant of this laptop.

Q: Is the screen 144 or 240 hz

A: If you click the overview on the best buy website, it states 144hz

Q: The ram is upgradable? If it is, what is the speed? Also, its SODIMM?

A: yes 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...
