I ordered my current computer from this company. Had to RMA it within the first month due to motherboard failure, but it works well enough now. Three points I'll note:

1. Horrible customer service. The owner, Ken, seems to just run everything himself. He is not cordial, or prompt in his responses (often had to email 2-3x before a response). He falsely advertised a fingerprint reader in my current laptop, and when I said it doesn't have one, his response was essentially, "oops, typo."

2. It took over a month to get my computer when there were not parts shortages. Expect to wait a while even once this computer becomes available.

3. I tried using the cash discount and paying by CC last time. The order went through, but Ken contacted me asking, "so you're going to send me a wire transfer or money order?" even though I had clearly already paid, and forced me to cancel my order and re-order.

Edit: This is all to say, while not the ABSOLUTE worst experience one could have, I'd be pretty hesitant to order from GenTech again.
I have been wanting a Ryzen, but since the Tyzen is here, I might bite 😏
You're going to leave your personal gaming laptop on 24/7? I would barely consider doing this with my 3080 desktop, and I have the coolest running card and case you can buy. You're going to shorten the lifespan of something, inevitably. For me, it would just be the gpu fan in all likelihood if the psu is operating at less than 50-60%. But still, barely worth it imo, even at these all time highs.

Pros don't do this on a small scale basis for a reason. They do it on rigs with multiple GPUs per motherboard. They just care about yields, not the longevity/condition of the parts. If you're going to be using this laptop for personal use + maybe even some business, mining on it for the entirety of the time it's not in use otherwise maybe isn't the best idea...

Hm, about $75-90 monthly mining of Ethereum on these? Wonder if I should sell my Surface 7 for this.
I'm not sure what that means...

Dunno if I like their wording in that article, saying "up to the latest", which to me suggests that the $999.99 starting price may not include a Ryzen 7 and/or Geforce RTX. Guess we'll wait and see.

Nub question... is this a better deal compared to Bb Pre-Order I made https://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus...Id=6448933

Pros/Cons between two units? This is a gift for my brother who wants to play CoD and MSFlight Simulator.
