Webcam wasn't connected from the factory. In a post-2020 world, this doesn't fly, and for a $1500+ device, I shouldn't need to spend hours doing firmware updates, driver updates, only to find it's a hardware fault.
Back to my Google Pixelbook, but the final software update date is a terrifying prospect [1], as is it's woefully inefficient Intel 7th generation processor (I've been spoiled by Ryzen for years).
Oh how I wish I could just build my own laptop with COTS components, like my desktops for the last 16 years.
Or, if I'm just not looking in the right place, I'd love to find something with a great display, lightweight, great typing experience, and something that won't hit 45*C+ on the keyboard deck after boot.
In another life, I might have bought into the Apple ecosystem, but I have been Android since 2009 and have already traded my soul to Google for it's scrambled attempts at a cohesive ecosystem.
