The 750 watt power supply is not available for the Dells with 11th gen, but if you do go for a 12th gen, I agree that the larger power supply is worth getting even if you don't think you need it.
And if you do buy the 11th gen on sale here and want to add aftermarket RAM, be careful what you choose as most higher speed RAM (e.g. 3200MHz) will only run at 2666 or 2333 in these machines. To have additional RAM that runs at same 2933 speed as the stock RAM, it must be rated to run at 1.2V. (Most newer DDR4 RAM is specified at 1.5V.) A couple of known compatible RAMs are Crucial CR16G4DFR32A (1x16GB) and CT2K8G4DFRA32A (2x8GB).
Also, if you want to upgrade the stock CPU cooler that comes with the 11th gen, the ARCTIC Freezer i13 X is an easy plug-and-play upgrade. (Even comes with thermal paste pre-applied.)

I was planning on removing the GC and selling is as I don't game.
Found out the Legion 5 doesn't allow use of onboard card and oldest card tested working was 1050ti.
Was going to keep the Legion5 and wait for XPS 12thgen deal if it ever pops up again as I have the AMEX offer also.
For instance, if a zip code has a very high crime rate where the Amazon drivers are attacked or robbed or have to deal with many vicious guard dogs or porch pirates follow the drivers to steal the packages, Amazon MUST raise prices to serve that zip code. Meanwhile, other zip codes might be perfect for Amazon in every way (no security requirements, safe streets, low gas costs, easy-to-hire drivers for)--they can and should enjoy lower Amazon pricing.
As it is now, there are definitely areas I would not want my kids driving into to make deliveries. They'd have to be paid a lot higher wages to make it worth the risk. Either that or I'd have to ride shotgun with an actual shotgun.
Don't forget these GPUs have a work around to double the hash rate from 24 to 50MH/s. $2 a day per GPU currently. With 6 you can bring in over $400 in a month. Electricity bill was about $90
So yeah, still $1.10/day. Next month it will be $1 day, and continue to decrease.

Honestly if you plan on selling the GPU I would. It's ridiculous they crippled that mobo and it only has a 400w psu so really not much headroom at all. I am returning the Lenovo but gonna hold out for a bit higher end GPU. I'm hoping for a 3060ti or better for 1299 again.

I did not know that. Mind telling me where you got that information?
I wish I would have bought a LOT more of those 3060TIs from Costco. The two I got are hands down the best pre-built miners I own. Efficient, quiet, and require the least babysitting. Wish I could say the same for my 1660 Supers and 3090s...
If anyone wants an almost new 3090 Omen pre-built, I'll gladly trade one for two of those Costco 3060TI builds (I may even throw a little cash/crypto in too). I'd lose money, but it's worth it to me to not babysit the temps so much. No more 3090s for this guy.
Or I'll trade two 1660 Super builds for one 3060TI build. Maybe a little cash there too...

Zero reports/proof of V1 versions. Plus, why would there be any? The V1 versions were available for such a brief time last summer, it's not like Dell has been sitting on thousands, when we already know Nvidia was quick to plug that hole right after than first batch. A loooong time ago.
