Ultimately for me it's two things: - reliably working hardware - microsoft office I lead a pretty mobile life so I flip my laptop open and closed probably 20 times a day and do loads of video conferencing in a professional setting. Even a small fraction of the time having it not wake, or Wifi isn't working, or sound and audio isn't right etc etc ... would just be a deal breaker. And every time I see these threads, people are STILL talking about all these things.
