Chipset fans, etc. are usually always on rather than temperature or load controlled and often make a bad whining noise
RMA the laptops which do it. My Acer Nitro 5 is silent even when installing updates.

While your laptop may be quiet for your use not everyones else's is. You cant rma a laptop because it makes more noise than another one.
Ah, it's obviously faulty if its engineers hadn't thought about the option to control the fans spinning by temperature, rather than always on or load control.
It isn't a fault - chipset fans are rarely if ever temperature controlled. Some laptops by design have different approaches or needs when it comes to cooling.
For me, it's about poor design decisions and even poorer assembly. But of course, it's your choice to complain.

I'm banking on not getting my hands on one until about christmas

Hot damn, no way in hell i could wait this long. You reckon they'll be out by Sept time?

out: yes,
out of stock immediately if you don't pre-order: almost definitely.
available between sept - Dec without retailers price gouging: unlikely
It's a new Threadripper if you wish versus the old Threadripper 2990WX.
But the range of the results is so wide, that it's impossible to get consistent IPC evaluation.
I don't know about any AMD event in 4 (or now in 3) days. What do you expect to happen then?

Decisions! Decisions! Mind you I only game at 1080p with a Vega 56, so I doube the 2600 would ever let me down, not for a good while.

I game at 1440p with a 1080, my 2700K is doing just fine to be honest.
Adding to this I recently upgraded my HTPC with the addition of a 2500K (at stock speeds) and an RX480.
TV is 1080p, I have played a handful of games on that and they all ran fine.
Given the above and the fact that I have waited this long, a few more months won't hurt.
I'll hold out for the higher core count simply because it seems that is the way that CPUs are going now, and the advances in IPC and clock speed are grinding to a halt, if it stays this way Ryzen 3xxx series should hopefully last as long as Sandybridge has for me.

If you're referring to the Computex keynote then that's not until 27th. 7 days I'm afraid

What is this information based on, or is this tongue in cheek?

its based on my expectations.
and even then I think the price gouging will continue in to 2020.

Depends, the manufacturing process lends itself to higher yields than typical, but depends if the clocks they hit are very much golden to do 5GHz v say 4.6GHz
I think it's a fair expectation, to be honest. It's a process that is currently in ramp up, the first smartphones on the 7nm process have just arrived, so it's in general very optimistic to expect TSMC will deliver the needed capacity.
Q3 is long - from July 1st till September 30th.
