This is awful behavior, and I'm not trying to diminish that in any way, but... Who sticks with the OEM software? One of the first things I do with any x86-based system is wipe the drive and install a fresh copy of Windows or a distro of choice.

- jborichevskiy 5y agoThe vast majority of people who buy a laptop expect the laptop they paid money for to work without having to "wipe the drive and install a fresh copy of" anything
- kitsunesoba 5y agoOn some laptops I'll stick with the stock windows install simply because that's what is often required to get full performance (GPU, battery life, etc). The most egregious I've seen so far is an ASUS Zephyrus G15 which gets ~20% worse GPU performance when using anything but the factory Nvidia drivers on the factory install. Installing drivers from Windows Update or straight from Nvidia incurs the speed hit, and while it's possible to download the right drivers from ASUS, getting them installed and in the right state is a pain in the rear.
- mdoms 5y agoWell firstly the vast, overwhelming majority of users do. Secondly this is an android tablet so your post is entirely off track.
