Every time you buy a computer it is generally going to be "bleeding edge" to various degrees and it's unlikely to work properly for X months/years.
It is only because people keep their machines for several years that the "average" machine running linux is several years old, yet it seems like a rite of passage for people to blame the user for having the audacity to buy a laptop that isn't 10 years old with X and Y but avoids Z wifi chipset.
