A Dell Inspiron laptop.
It just kept dying. Typing a Word document one moment, black screen the next. I bought this thing in August because I was going back to school and I needed a new laptop. By December I finally convinced them to replace the machine outright. I got a different model that lacked a lot of the features I had ordered.
I'm no longer a Dell customer.
Unfortunate. My wife has an inspiron 7000 gaming laptop that I bought for school in 2016… it has survived a repair to the screen due to being ran hard and dropped often, but it is still a powerhouse and keeps up with any task thrown at it with Fedora Kinoite. The keyboard stopped lighting up a few years back but other than that it shows no sign of stopping.
To be fair, the machine they replaced my original Inspiron with (also a 7000 series from 2014) is still working after a bit of a post-warranty glow-up including replacing the battery, CPU fan and HDD with an SSD. It's in "still works fine running Mint" territory. When it finally snaps I'm going Framework.
