For every laptop that you think there will be good reviews there will always be a bunch of people reporting issues. Can't really win man :( all laptops turn to shit after a while depending on many things. I wish you good luck on it.
For me, i have 1 computer i can't complain, my 2013 macbook pro. still works fast as fuck and has never given me any trouble, like, none at all. But others have a fuckload of issues. Can't win. -
@AleCx04 it doesn't even have an ethernet port. Holy cow if you are even thinking a thing that connect it must be "mind reading" level connectivity if you ain't gonna put an eth0. Imagine how funny was realising having to re-establish internet connectivity after you successfully completed installation of a distro that apparently didn't have suitable drivers. It's even funnier when you know which distro was. The fucking Ubuntu itself.

@starrynights89 I guess so. I'm specifically ranting at their consumer products, especially those sold under 400€.

@keksprache I've never bought a consumer grade laptop that I enjoyed working with. They're always built to a subpar quality level.
This is a view from a rooftop in NYC that I sometimes get the pleasure to work from. I really like the view an...
I just wanted some water :(
Yep that's how I want to wake up, with a mini heart attack ...
I. HATE. DELL. WITH. MY. GUTS.
Their low tiers products are full black plastic overpriced fuckshit, if you press too much the cover you can actually destroy your display. Fuck shitty laptops and fuck this shitty laptop in particular. It's slow. It's so slooooooow. It's everflying fucking slow motion, being on the web is like being in the matrix while dodging bullets made of wordpress plugins. The only good thing I can say is that is living right now, it has been... Three years? I only picked it because of high discount and ubuntu preinstalled (that made me think: oh, maybe they have components that are linux compatible regardless of distros. It was not). I'm enjoying Manjaro, when I'll have the skillz i'm going full Arch.
I will start university this fall. It's going to be a math major. I absolutely need something better than this anyway. I am also freaking out because I don't know which genre of software they could want to make me install and if they're windows/mac only. In the meanwhile I do photography, video, design and as you may suppose Adobe is often my go-to; I also have to build a workstation at home. I am freaking out because WELL FUCK WINDOWS 10 AND ITS PRIVACY NIGHTMARE PERIOD.
Which laptop I buy?
How well does heavy software run in a Windows virtual machine (on the desktop, not the laptop)?
