I think it was just any laptop with i9 just bad CPU for a laptop.

I had dell and swapped it as soon as was possible to i7.

I think they just made those only because they knew there will be enough people thinking “bigger better CPU == better laptop” - and yeah seems like I am not the only one that got caught with that. But I also trusted that someone there did any testing…
