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.

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...

Quote from mexi :
What max wattage does this setup deliver to the gpu? How much performance difference to expect in the mobile setup?
Minus 36% performance vs 3060ti on desktop.

Basically a 2070 super desktop in performance

It's alot slower than desktop 3060ti, but that's to be expected.

Hm, about $75-90 monthly mining of Ethereum on these? Wonder if I should sell my Surface 7 for this.
Edit: question already answered.

I'm going to get downvoted but the thing that made me want to shed a tear here is.... the 1080p camera.....I've seen $2000 powerhouses still only offering a terrible 720 cam.

Yeah, I have 3 3070 desktops and 1 3080 right now all mining. Pulling about $850/mo in net profit at current rates.

Guess we'll find out, though Smilie
I know nothing about crypto, but how do you turn that 850/month in crypto, into real currency, like USD? You can't actually buy things with crypto, right?

Quote from SmartBorder110 :
can someone please help me
Should I buy this one
or lenovo legion 7 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lenovo.../390550133
The lenovo is awesome, great thermals and screen. But it's a max q which makes it more of a 2070. The 3060 max p is better, I'm abit worried on temp with this as it only has 2 heat pipes. Most 30 series have 3. If you have $1400 and can wait a month, get the new legion 5 pro. Just a poor man's opinion.

There are some places that accept crypto for payment; PayPal and others are preparing to (if not already) as far as I know. I think the primary way to use the crypto would be to convert it to general currency (i.e., USD).

this would only be a good deal if the 3060 operates at 115W. I am not paying $1200 for an 80W 3060

Get the 3070 version for 1560 - that pulls 115 minimum and more configurable

You can buy silver, gold, platinum, etc. with crypto at many bullion exchanges. The ETH I mine is deposited in my ethereum wallet (MEW) which I can transfer to coinbase pro and sell for USD. I am likely keeping for the long haul though in the hopes ETH continues to rise over the next decade. Who knows, the $11/day I make from my 3090 could really be $110/day in the distant future.

It's definitely not 80W as no Max-p version operates on that frequency.

Hey, so, the hackintosher inside me says "wait, there's no Intel built in graphics? Does that mean the "switching" technique is finally gone? Does it ONLY drive Nvidia for the display? I mean, at 240hz, it makes sense -- Intel anything couldn't drive that."
Then you better increase your knowledge a bit because it's at the bottom. What made you think that it doesn't have integrated graphics....because of the 240 Hz display??
