Yeah, its less the durability, and more the long standing security issues:
- Firmware flaws they didn’t always patch
- many vulnerabilities that were known
- bundled apps that included known vulnerabilities
- Installing software on first boot from hardware (discontinued)
- Superfish injected ad traffic which allowed mitm attacks
- hardware level backdoors
So most of these things get alleviated since I always wipe new computers and put Linux on them anyways. But the repeated poor decision, security, and anti consumer practices concerns me.
