I'm curious if the Intel Core i5 12500H is a solid option for a gaming laptop. It's paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, has 16GB of RAM, and comes with a 512GB SSD. I'm not very experienced with building laptops, so I want to ensure these specs are adequate for running all Steam and Game Pass games. If not, I might need to look into other components.

Yeah, that setup should work well for gaming! Just a heads up, though, when you mention "Go," did you mean GB? Also, keep in mind that you can't typically upgrade the CPU or GPU in a laptop; your options are mainly limited to RAM and storage.
Honestly, OP could either be super savvy or making a huge mistake with this build. It’s a bit of a gamble when you consider the limited upgrade paths.
Laptops aren’t like PCs in terms of upgrades. You can usually only upgrade RAM and SSD, and even that can be tricky since many components are soldered on these days. But with the i5 12500H and RTX 4060, you should be able to handle most games at 1080p on mid to high settings.
