The way we stop accepting it is we stop buying them. Whoever bought a Lenovo Ideapad Flex or a Dell Inspiron needs to stop and take a second to do some research on repairability and build quality instead of buying based on a list of specs.

Mid-grade is pretty vague. Laptops in general are designed to be disposable while ‘checking off the boxes’ for marketing feature lists - with few exceptions.

I don’t see any evidence to support that. I see Ideapad Flex and Yoga: https://flexscreensettlement.com/Portals/0/1d. Second Amended Complaint (1.26.23).pdf?ver=P6CZLg1AWkrmW1U11Lrd9w%3D%3D

Same as the Lenovo pre-installed malware incident which affected their consumer laptop lines. I think it was called superfish?

Isn’t it partially your fault on the hinges for buying a non-Thinkpad? Asus doesn’t even have a business line of laptops, as far as I’m aware, so shouldn’t even be an option.

Little bit like buying an HP Pavilion and complaining about build quality.
