Because of less optimised power usage and performance, right? And because it's not very popular in Thinkpads :-) > The Acer Aspire AS5532-5535 seems good. You got screwed and want to spread it even with others? Get out of here. Exactly Acer & Asus suck the most in all product lines. These are favourite only amongst enthusiasts without budget for the actual desktop replacement class, and mostly run Windows and at most Linux, before they start crashing with age. The most important bits: display and keyboards are terrible on the said multimedia oriented crapware, and the build quality is beyond laughable even on higher priced product lines. Like recycled plastic on the connectors that fall off with regular usage etc. Modern laptops are completely gone the trash bin, with estimated life time of 1-2 years. This is from somebody who owned a new crapbook and regrets it (although the piece still works mostly because of self replaced components before warranty expired) -> buy Thinkpads on the cheap and enjoy the BIOS and overall popularity amongst other OpenBSD users (for reasons). Advice comes better from developers, rather than opposing for no reason dummies.
