People need to understand though, a laptop is still a laptop. Even the best laptop really isn't very good compared to an equally priced desktop. If a laptop is what you want, this is a decent one. This isn't getting anywhere near 140+ FPS in 1440p with AAA titles as it can't even do that in 1080p consistently.
Personally I can't spend $2k on a laptop and sleep at night. It either ends up being a bad desktop hooked up to a ton of external stuff or it ends up as a portable movie watcher that a cheaper option would have worked better and way lighter. This laptop actually did worse in DaVinci Resolve than two 3070 laptops... so you can def save money and get pretty damn near equal experiences going with much cheaper 3070 builds and sticking to 1080p as you should on a laptop.
Literally nothing that a home user needs. Your comment is irrelevant and you've made everyone stupider for even making it.

Don't laugh at my domain controller, email server, group policies and Edge firewall OkAY???
And yea, truecrypt probably unstable because it's development's been dead for like...5+ years.
Also - if your drive is dead, why are you worried about the data on it? It's solid state, unless it's the FBI they aren't getting your data off. No one cares. Drive encryption is just not needed for a gaming laptop with only 512gb of storage. If it had a second HDD bay and 2x 2tb nvme's, yea, pro for bitlocker would make sense because then it would also cater to developers.
Nas for backup. It is not as fast as as an NVME. The drive may be dead to me, but it may be fixed and accessible to anyone. If it's a bad controller the data is accessible if the controller is swapped.
The Nas is where I DON'T need encryption. If one of my disks dies, the data on it not accessible without the entire array.
If you read my post, I mentioned Veracrypt, which is the active successor to Truecrypt.

The 17" is big and the screen isn't 500 nits nor 16:10.
Admittedly, these are not as big of a concern if you're getting it as a pure gaming laptop. Just adding my perspective for an all-in-one solution.
If anyone knows of a laptop that is:
15-16"
Around 500 nits
RTX 3060 or 3070
Larger glass trackpad
Ryzen 5900
Pls let me know! Closest I could find so far is the Blade 14 or 15 but the screen is only around 300 nits.
Works like a champ. Thanks MS!

Did your Mom setup and configure the NAS or did you do it for her? If the latter, I'm not impressed.
The fact is, for the secure data that people keep on their laptops, a NAS is an unnecessary expense when you can just encrypt your drive for free. I, for one, don't need more than 1TB in my laptop as I have cloud storage for the bulk of things. But i am concerned with someone accessing my drive and therefore my cached browser passwords, sites and data. That's not something a NAS can help with. Encrypting a Windows drive is the practical thing to do for security.
Also, not all laptop repairs are for dead drives. How about when the display or system board has an issue? Repair people then certainly DO have access to your data if the drive is not encrypted.
I support hundreds of people on hundreds of computers (desktops and portables) and cannot think of any scenario where a NAS is remotely needed. or would be better than just encrypting their drives as a security measure.

You don't do FDE on a NAS, you create an encrypted volume/container. Duh. Veracrypt works fine, and I'm not sure why you lumped it in with a dead software that's not being developed for anymore. Moreso, you can use veracrypt on the tiny 512gb drive to create the same container as I suggested doing on a NAS. Or if you're cheap, a $40 external USB drive. Or, just upgrade windows for -.37 cents. The solutions are endless, and "home" is what they put on gaming laptops because they aren't business marketed. If you're afraid of losing your passwords to someone stealing your drive data, use a password manager. The solutions are endless, and saying "why didn't this come with pro" is literally asinine.

I didn't cherry pick the scenario, go read the previous comment and realize that was the scenario presented. And if your screen is dead, pull your drive before sending it in. They don't need it for a repair. Same with the "system board" (motherboard lol). Encrypting a windows drive is a business level feature/need to protect IP, not a home user need to protect your already exposed and reused password being sold on the dark web already. If you're a sys admin then you know that. A gaming laptop does not need FDE when the expectation is "load drive completely with games." If you need pro, then upgrade for literally almost nothing. Most home users aren't going to use bitlocker because they don't even understand it. They cannot install a NAS (but an external drive is an easy alternative). If they could, then they'd understand that upgrading windows is nominal, easy, and cheap, and not be complaining about it on a home gaming laptop deal at $2k. So I question your sys admin aptitude. Especially since I'm the one (principal support engineer) sys admins call because they have no idea what they're doing.
Let me put it like this- your server side passwords get hacked and exposed without the need to access your personal computer at all. Home computers are worthless to attack, no hacker cares about a single points data when they can do a single hack to expose millions of usernames/passwords from a database. So encrypting a home computer, again, is worthless, because you do not carry intellectual property on the machine. FDE is a BUSINESS need, not a home need.

It sounds like the "Enterprise-support" side of your brain is clouding the common sense side of your brain.
Sorry, but if my laptop is stolen, I don't want someone taking the drive out and connecting it to another PC to read the data. Bitlocker is seamless and works. It should be included in both Home and Pro versions of Windows. Even macOS includes FDE in their macOS (used by home AND business workers) and every Mac user is given the option of enabling it when setting up their new Mac.
