      not the case for most new hardware, especially laptops. Sure you get a cheap laptop and its probably gonna be fine but an enterprise laptop with the latest and greatest… totally a coin flip

      I have had to deal with it on so many models in recent years its not even funny. (IT system admin who never uses the default install of Windows)
