    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?

    Why is only Apple held to this standard?

        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.

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

      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.

        Just checked, the only 2 controversies in the top list the past 2 months are Apple and Nvidia’s 4090 power connector issue.
