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.
How long would it take to crypto farm and it for it to pay itself off?
I'll keep it simple for you so you can follow along.
1. When Truecrypt was abandoned, the code was used to create Veracrypt. I mentioned both because they share the same code base.
2. As I mentioned in my previous post, I found full drive encryption unrideable on both.
3. I did not mention passwords so I don't know why you include it in your response other than to fill space and appear like you know what you're talking about. My passwords are not accessible to anyone with access to my physical drive. It's my documents that I want to protect.
4. I didn't say encryption wasn't possible on Nas. My reason for encrypting my working drive was to protect the data from random technicians if it needed repairs. I don't need encryption on my Nas because a single drive cannot be used to access my data, hence no encryption is needed for my needs.
5. An asinine comment goes something like this:
"Do you even know what pro gives you over home?
Literally nothing that a home user needs"

Hope that helps.
But yea I prefer pro so I can enable bit locker with a offline/local account.
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.
Even Windows 10 Home (latest build) will try to automatically enable encryption if your system has the right requirement (TPM or fTPM) + AES_NI.
Everyone should be caring about the data they have on their laptops of desktops, unless they are technical enough to build a dedicate machine for single purpose where there ARE 100% no useful data on that machine.
But as you said, most gamers are not that technical to build or buy a system JUST for sole purpose of only gaming.
The practice of encrypting your personal computer devices should be mainstream by now. Macs is pushing this as a default, Windows 10 is trying to, iOS has this by default Windows 11 is trying to set this as as standard requirement.
The thought process has shifted from, only encrypt if you have data to protect to you should encrypt everything and only not encrypt if you are 100% sure you have no personal data you want exposed at all.
Just like Backup best practices wasn't mainstream a decade ago, and today everyone should have some form of backup... today everyone should have some form of device encryption.
Data thieves are getting very craft and is working at never thought about methods on what personal data they can use to cause damage or theft. As data is harder to get, they are innovator new ways to use data that no one has thought was even useful before.
As for dead drives... unless his physically damage beyond repairs, I've been able to do recover with good success myself without special NSA knowledge (I'm not a data recovery expert either). I had a failed NAS drive. To recover I tried to transplant the controller from a working drive to the "dead" one. Then the dead one start working! The transplant was pretty easy too. No soldering. Just need a screw driver, remove 2 screws and that's it. I was able to move all the data I needed.
If that was someone else drive without encryption, I just accessed all their data on it.
