According to u/Eluktronics, first batch of Ryzen 3080s cleared customs! Maybe shipped to us by end of week?

To be completely honest? I’m curious to see how this pans out and how long it actually takes. I’m pretty disappointed with the way these guys straight lied to me. “They are sitting in customs” was what I got told before the March update. Come to find out they hadn’t even made it the manufacturer in China. That’s a lot farther away than sitting in a US port waiting to clear customs.

And yes I is GeForce now to game as all id do is worry about a laptop that costs over 2 grand. It’s nit worth the mental worry and no matter what brand all the top line systems I’d be too worried to take with me as I travel for a living. I’m gone 50% of the year and as I’m not allowed to carry a backpack for work (company policy) there aren’t any bags out there that would provide ample protection for any laptop.

I’m also curious to see performance as the thermals seen in a review were less than ideal coming from a machine that puts “thermals and performance first”.

Maybe I’m bitter about being lied to or maybe I’m upset that I’d be more worried about a laptop than I’d be able to enjoy not really sure but I am satisfied with my end purchase and that’s all I care about. Sure it was more difficult and took longer than I thought but I had to experience it for myself to end up where I am now.
