I have two of them, and I think they are great. That being said, they are significantly more expensive than similar options from Dell (or Lenovo, HP, etc.) They just don’t have the volume of production needed to compete.

MAYBE you’ll end up ahead with upgradability or repairability, but honestly, you’re paying more to support good company practices.

I’m planning on keeping these laptops for a long time and upgrading when I need to, but we have to be realistic that most people aren’t going to stomach a minimum of 30% premium for options they don’t care about.

If your wife is unfaithful, she should go to the priest and get a concoction to abort the pregnancy conceived with another man.

How do you know a commenter is over 40? This one right here.

Which is KIND OF ok unless someone looks at a password breech list and figures out your super simple pattern. And I’m sure the rise of AI being used in password breech attacks will just make it more automated.

Real, true, random passwords/tokens is really the only way to actually be safe. Which means you have to use a password generator, AND something to save the password.

Then one password breech and your password everywhere is exposed to the world. That’s bad advice.

There’s no way for the average person to keep up with remembering unique, strong passwords for all the sites that require them.

You either have to write it down, save it in a password manager, reuse passwords, or have simplified passwords or patterns.

Networked cameras used for security should have local storage to buffer when the network isn’t available, regardless of if you’re using wired or wireless.

Why does dropbox have the ability to see your files at all? That seems like a pretty bad security flaw in the first place.

Biggest problem is that they cheap out on the tech parts. Nobody complains that an iPad has a touch screen, cause it works. But an appliance tends to have a crappy UI, running on a crappy touch screen, powered by a crappy CPU.

If they just used quality parts, it’d probably be fine, and the only issue would be expensive replacement for an entire assembly, instead of small, cheap parts that can be fixed.
