I’m just going to say that pointing out flaws in $600 and $700 laptops and having people instinctively respond “it’s not for real users, these buyers don’t know/care” is gross. Why should we make the assumption that those buyers don’t still deserve better, or at least on par with the 6 year old product it’s replacing that sold at the same price. Stop assuming people who don’t spend $1000+ on tech are imbeciles or deserve subpar options. No one in 2026 deserves a laptop with a single USB 3 port.
