    Sorry, I think that part of our write-up is misleading (I was involved in analyzing the issue described here). To our best understanding, what happens is the following: - A client …

    Just as an anecdotal counterpoint to all the negative reviews here: I have a 2015 Tuxedo notebook that is still going strong, and never had any issue with it. There is quite a bit …

    I think one way to 'treat' this would be to acknowledge that certain things just cannot be optimized easily with outside incentives, and to simply accept that there will be some in…
