because apple keeps denying that all of these flaws are not flaws but “made that way to make your life better”
so the more flaws an apple product has, the more it’s supposed to make your life magical!
if they admitted to errors, then there wouldn’t be -gate… for example, butterfly-keyboard-gate - just admit the whole thing sucks and tell the truth. That keyboard sucks.
Same as for the touchbar - you notice they don’t say anything about it. Just say “the touch bar isn’t performing the way we envisioned it, so we’re killing it” instead of saying “touchbar is the greatest thing!” but then pull support and don’t update it in the 7 years since 2016 and then kill it silently.
Can you find me an example of any other laptop manufacturer acknowledging negative things about their own products? Like an Acer representative apologizing for the shitty thermals on their $1000 gaming laptops, for example?
I guess the bigger question you should be asking is “why do I feel like only Apple is held to this standard?” Is it confirmation bias of the media you choose to consume? It it their hardware’s ubiquity, cost and blatant anti-repair approach or a combination of all those factors? Possibly.
There’s countless hardware and software flaws and gripes constantly posted here - more so than anything apple related. Scroll through the sub.
I’ve not had any issues with my Legion 7 from 2021. Been following the subreddit and Discord, doesn’t seem to be any major issues, unless I missed them.
Pretty great PC that can be moved around really easily and the 3080 performs similar to a desktop 3070. Perfect for the super bright 1440p screen it has.

They did. They gave free repairs to everyone with broken keyboards and stopped using that design.
Do you mean a free repair that’s on top of the warranty?

Just checked, the only 2 controversies in the top list the past 2 months are Apple and Nvidia’s 4090 power connector issue.
Both can be held to that standard. Gaming laptops are shit. Always have been

I do really like the legion laptops as well. If a customer is requesting one, i begrudgingly point them to those systems.
