Comment Re:Amazon did the same thing because of bad review (Score 3, Funny) 123

My experience has been different. When I did my research, I found those made in Germany had great reviews, those made in Asia - not so much.

Miele vacuum cleaners last so long that my mother-in-law is still flying hers about after she replaced her broomstick.

what the hell kind of garbage did you buy?

I am typing this on a nice Dell XPS laptop I bought 8.5 years ago. 4K screen, backlit keyboard, 16 GB RAM, 7th gen i7 processor. Used for over 50 hours per week for 8.5 years. I would say that kind of usage indicates that it is not garbage - but quality hardware. Unfortunately, it won't officially run Windows 11.

The only thing I have had to replace is the power cord - as the old one bent back and forth a lot being moved several times a day.

Comment Why? (Score 1) 93

I haven't found performance to be an issue with Office.

On my laptop (just over 8 years old), with a throttled CPU (ThrottleStop) - Word loads in 2 seconds (after a reboot and login).

A 2 second cold start is very reasonable.

Maybe they spend the time/resources improving Teams performance (which is much, much slower to load) and Windows performance - and enable the decrapification of Windows from stuff nobody needs and nobody asked for.
