Nope. Its all buggy and shitty. Dell XPS had coilwhine for several ages despite numerous complaints and other laptops with same chipsets didn't. The cause? Cheaping out on inductors. Lenovo has firmware issues I just returned my laptop which gone black screen due to some suspend/sleep state at random. This is a huge issue btw affecting more than 20-30+ models. Actually Lenovo support guy I asked for his recommendation said he got the M1 Macbook Air lol, the other one I spoke to said the only one he didn't have complaints about was their flagship P1 model. The previous Dell I tried ordering had GPU DOA. Honestly I don't give a shit about the on-site support the other guy mentioned, its just a bandaid on the problem that all laptops suck, but more often than not no matter how many times you replace a motherboard you can't fix these glaring issues! Its the QUALITY of the motherboard that sucks!

Macbooks aren't perfect either despite having better wifi, audio (and lower noise-floor). I would not choose a Macbook unless an employer gave it to me for free, but then I would without a doubt choose one. Will the logic board fail after 1 year warranty or a year after? Or have other quirks? Most likely!

Android is the same btw, ask me why I run iPhone despite being the largest android fanboi previously.. everything was terribly broken and half-baked.. The only android device I own now is my SONY X900H TV and since latest update it has started to reboot itself at random.

I'm fed up with this..

"everything was terribly broken and half-baked"

What are you talking about? My S22 Ultra works great.

Give it to me for a week and I will tell you everything wrong with it including all the bugs you haven't found yet.
