another crappy experience with a Dell xps15 9575... the feeling of a laptop built to quickly auto desintegrate, with crappy components, bad BT/wifi module, very unreliable touchpad, butter screws... everything sucked ass. I remember also not being able to use the laptop 90 degrees on its side to see a movie for example because the keyboard would stop working and the fan would start to run at max speed. that was the worst laptop I've ever had and the most expensive too. never again dell for me.

after that I bought a custom 14 inch laptop in pcspecialist back when they still had amd ryzen models (Ryzen 7 4800H 8 cores, 64 Gb ram, no preinstalled OS...) which is the best laptop I've ever had in my entire life. It's been complete opposite experience in terms of enjoyment and reliability, with very few issues using Linux (my only complain the inability to put to sleep, because it messes up the video after waking up even with the latest kernel).

Thanks for mentioning Pcspecialist. They seem to be making nice laptops which are aren't more costly than brand names such as HP or Dell or Lenovo.
