"Intel Inside!" wasn't a seal of quality, it was a warning.
So was, "Dude, you're getting a Dell."
Literally scrolling through Lemmy right now because my work Dell is stuck in a bootloop and IT's solution is to let er buck until the unremovable battery dies.
Have you tried holding the power button for like 20 seconds? Never seen a laptop that didn't hard reset after that... You know what, never mind. Enjoy your browsing.
Yeah I've tried all the standard stuff. Boots to the Windows Update screen for half a second and then restarts, even after hard resetting it like that.
Thanks though.
Gross, unremovable batteries should be a crime.
Fortunately my boss told IT we need macs (we don't) so we didn't have to deal with their BS. I've seen the corporate laptops and I feel your pain.
This will be cool right up until your unreplaceable Apple SSD dies.
That's fine with me, I'll just get whatever the latest laptop is at the time. We keep some spares on hand, so I'd be down for a day to get my new laptop set up.
What's the difference between that and a typical business laptop?
Our IT dept doesn't support macs, so they can't put their nonsense controls on it. We could use Linux, but many on our team are more familiar with macOS.
I don't mind as long as its not Windows. I prefer Lenovo ThinkPads, but whatever, it's not something I'm willing to fight over. And the new M-series chips are really fast, so I can put up with crappier ergonomics when not plugged in to my USB hub.
Have you tried turning it off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on and off and on again?
