What's so great about Huawei laptops?
I've been using an Asus EliteBook for the last 3 years. Despite taking a beating, the build quality has held up flawlessly and with 32 GB of RAM, 1 kg form factor, and great battery life, I have no reason to upgrade yet.
- everdrive 9mo ago> What's so great about Huawei laptops? Unlike other laptops, there is always the lingering fear of a Chinese backdoor.
- guerrilla 9mo agoBecause we all know ASUS doesn't install backdoors by default...
- rjdj377dhabsn 9mo agoBackdoors in the OS or firmware? I always use Linux, so I don't care what software it came with. If you're suggesting there are firmware backdoors, I'd like to see your evidence.
- guerrilla 9mo agoThere have been known vulnerabilities in ASUS firmware, but I was referring to Armoury Crate which is forcefully pushed on Windows users. > I'd like to see your evidence. I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case.
- rjdj377dhabsn 9mo agoA vulnerability (that is presumably fixed after) is a lot different than an intentional backdoor. > I think this is a really bad epistemological stance in this case. Why? If one can't point to any evidence, how is it reasonable to suggest that a manufacturer is adding backdoors?
- axiologist 9mo agoI'd rather be concerned about friendly fire from our own. As an US American, i'd rather be concerned about big tech and government backdoors than anything else. Especially in the current atmosphere of doom inside the US.
- everdrive 9mo ago>As an US American I have my doubts
- FeteCommuniste 9mo agoPretty sure GP meant "if I were American..."
- axiologist 9mo agoThanks for putting this into the correct perspective.
- grigio 9mo agoBuild quality is better and do not have USA backdoors
