This is a gaming laptop though, it's a different market

Yeah, I bought a Dell laptop for that reason. Turns out the spec I wanted wasn't available with Linux preinstalled, so I had to buy the Windows machine and install it myself anyway. At least I never had any real driver issues or anything else like that. Laptop lasted 10+ years running Linux practically the entire time.

Props to any OEM who supports Linux, bigger props to anyone who ships Linux preinstalled, biggest props to those who favor Linux by default and charge extra to install Windows or refuse to do it outright!

I remember getting shitty mice from these assholes like 15 years ago. Little has changed apparently.

ONLY 3 years for a broken middle mouse click from Razer?

Get a lottery ticket. My friend used to take his Razer mouse back to the store on warranty every few months for various reasons, because it did break that often, and they still let him swap for the identical one or get a refund - in the latter case, he often picked another Razer mouse, just a more expensive one, paying a little extra.

I've been rocking Logitech G102 since the beginning of 2020 (at least) and so far the only thing I had to change was the cord. Still no double clicks, no missing registers, nothing.

That said, another friend I had suggested the mouse to after years of happily using mine, kept taking them to warranty for various reasons since 2022, and I think he quit on the thing after a few attempts. Maybe they don't make them like they used to.

i didnt know they had bad support too, yikes.

Legit, somehow the 5k-7k actual price tag is more egregious.

You can soon buy a decent used car for the price of a new laptop. How insane is that.
