Welcome to the internet, where people try their best to find people with the same opinions so they can feel good and get pissed when they can’t.

Small, good value, quiet, power efficient, built in battery backup and server terminal. Laptops are dope for home labs!

True but most people are in that middle group of users. I thought my mom would always be below it, so I set her up with Ubuntu and showed her how to open the web browser. But it wasn’t long before her siblings were suggesting she install a mahjong app to play with them, or goofy camera filters for their video calls. After being reasonably sure they weren’t spyware, I still had to break the bad news to her: “Sorry mom, Windows only.”

She’s currently running a refurbished ThinkPad with Windows 10 pro.
