i'll play the other side here for a minute.

multiple rants about a shipping screw.

rants about the slow laptop sodimm ram, then they went online and compared prices of different speeds of desktop dimms instead. this, after they nitpicked the web site's specs down to the millimeter.

everything they did was 'as shipped'. they didn't update windows, they didn't update bios, they didn't update drivers....

my guess is this system was built back before bios and microcode updates were available to fix the problems of 13/14th gen silicon drawing too much power, and the lower power envelope was the only corrective action available at the time.

i would like to see an honest follow-up on a fully updated and patched system.
