That’s good. This was mine two weeks after the warranty expired.
I would be more inclined to give them a pass on maybe a bad batch of cheap batteries if the laptop didn’t have a nearly 40% price premium over competitors. If you’re going to charge a much higher price, I’m going to expect a much better product.
For me, the battery-sucking expansion cards soured the taste for me. I have to leave them all unplugged and plug them in when I need them, which is obnoxious.
