Buy a Radeon. I'm not seeing the problem. You have options? Nobody is forcing you to buy Nvidia hardware.

  > You have options? Nobody is forcing you to buy Nvidia hardware. Laptops are generally an all or nothing proposition. I wanted a laptop with a high performance CPU and the nvidia GPU just came along with it. Couldn't even disable the thing in firmware since hardware video decoding with the Intel GPU caused kernel panics.

    If you claim it matters, but not enough to impact the purchasing decision, did it actually matter? Like you showed your disapproval of Nvidia by giving them your money anyway. So... They're right - people care enough to complain, but not buy something else, so it doesn't really matter.

      > So... They're right - people care enough to complain, but not buy something else Are you aware of the concept of market power, switching costs, barriers to entry, and market lock in? If so, then that should enlighten you as to the explanation for this. > did it actually matter? Yes. It matters, yet still did not change consumer behavior, due to the concept of market power.
