I have never been able to understand that. I can appreciate conviction of not using any manufacturer's products as some kind of a political statement, but this?
How often does something with your hardware goes wrong? I assume it's single-ish number of events per year, but you choose to suffer every day for the experience you deem subpar in a windows device?
- icu 5y agoFair point. It's not just this, it's the lack of being able to upgrade. I guess I'm just old and remember when I did my first upgrade from a 14.4k modem to a 33.6k modem and how much faster it was (lol). This is why my next laptop won't be another XPS, but will be a Framework laptop. I would have bought the Framework laptop now if it wasn't for the fact that they don't ship to the UK (yet) and there's no 15" version.
- maxgashkov 5y agoYeah, in my youth all my PCs were built by hand from the components (due to cost reasons more than anything else). But now I feel that this is not such an easy task anymore as components have to be carefully selected to not introduce a bottleneck somewhere by accident and I feel I just don't have the time for this.
