I’ve been happy with mine for a while. I’ve had some minor hiccups, but I blame myself for those because I choose to run arch on the thing. The swappable ports are a game changer for me, but that depends on the user.
When I bought it I didn’t need a powerful laptop, but I may in a few years, so it made more sense to buy something for a bit more upfront. The upgradable mainboard is a crazy value add.
I’ve also been the unfortunate owner of multiple laptops that became unusable because of a broken part that was impossible to source for replacement.
Clamshell packaging 10x the size of the item inside. Thing is wasteful and turns into a razor blade when you try to open it.
Their prices have gotten completely out of control. I’m just a home user though, so I use FreeCAD. It’s a little janky, but I can work at about 80% of my previous speed after about a month.
I just want there to be some sense in the regulations. I’m from the US so that’s rare, but banning plastic straws seems pretty silly when almost every product at the store is packaged in giant clamshell packaging that turn into razor blades when you open them. Paper and cardboard packaging should be required for most products.
What products do we use durable plastics for, and are there reasonable alternatives?
Tbf if I ran a business I would probably go cash only because payment processors have become somewhat predatory.
They also have great sudoku apps. They’re not free but there are no ads and they come with a lot of great puzzles.
