All specifications can be checked in the link above but I have made the following modifications to improve performance:
  1. Installed additional copper heatsinks over the CPU and GPU to aid heat dissipation
  2. Replaced the original 1 TB WD Blue SSD with a 1 TB Samsung 980. The 980 has nearly 4.5 years of warranty remaining with only 1 TB writes, can provide separate invoice for that.
    • Also have a non-warranty 2 TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus installed with a heatsink that you can see in the image. I intended to keep it, but can negotiate and the price does not reflect this.
  3. GPU is the revised 2060 with 115 TDP limit. Stock TDP was 90W, so I flashed 115W vBIOS from another manufacturer to unlock it.
  4. Custom Afterburner VF curve applied
  5. CPU TDP lowered using UXTU to provide more GPU headroom
  6. Repasted with Noctua NT-H1 twice, last time in June 2022
  7. Added flip stands to raise the back and improve the air flow
The end result is more than 20% performance uplift from stock. Following is Time Spy benchmark from today at around 30 degrees ambient temperature. Another 1% or so performance is attainable in an AC room.

The performance exceeds the max. value recorded for mobile 2060 in NotebookCheck and is about 94% of the performance of a desktop 2060 at much higher TDP. It is also about 88% of the performance of a stock mobile 3060.

I had taken an additional 2-year extended warranty, so it runs until Oct 24, 2023. Battery health is about 91% of new capacity. Can include other benchmarks on demand.

Have the original box, so will pack using that. Would prefer local deals for convenience. Can ship using courier of buyer's choice at buyer's risk.

Adjusted the price and to clarify it is 77k + shipping as listed and 90k + shipping if you also want the 2 TB 970 Evo Plus with heatsink.
 
Will be including the Afterburner and UXTU config files so that performance is representative of what is displayed here.
