Bad headline - omits "certain configurations."

Bad article - fails to mention that it's the amount of energy used while idle, NOT the amount of energy used while running, that is restricted.

alienware machines are disasters, so it's not a loss that they are being cancelled. They are heat death traps.

Seems absurd that the gaming press has picked up on this as a "gaming PC ban." Completely dishonest presentation.
