And way more work than should ever need to be done on a laptop which needs to work out of the box. I think I had a G7 or something… painful having to reinstall Dota each time just to find that the replacement was also crap.
I’d agree with that completely. I’m on a Dell now that I LOVE but it’s one of their top of the line XPS that was meant to go up against the Macbook. My work Latitude is a festering pile of dog shit. I constantly am overheating and locking up solid. The fan never stops running, and I’ve had to open it up twice to clean up the fan vents so the cooling system could pathetically grumble along. The thing probably needs the cooling system lapped and thermal paste re-done but that’s way more work than I’m willing to do for a work machine.

XPS are the exception to the rule of Dell’s quality, really. I guess the Precisions were also half decent, but I never bothered with them - they were ThinkPads but worse for the same price. Everything else is mediocre to bad.
