bought with my own money and has crackling audio due to hardware not software issues. Works fine through an audio interface but the speakers sound like ass.
If its any consolidation my HP Envy, which is a normal consumer laptop that comes with windows, had that same crackling noise if I hold it at a weird angle.
I should have sent it back as well, but frankly that's just the state of the market RN. Companies don't give a f, even large ones.
I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.

Why would Europeans pick small US businesses to shop? Do Americans give priority to buying from small EU businesses? No.
You buy from the US first, big or small, and only then do you look for alternatives outside if something doesn't exist in the US (which means, never).
