Back in the Windows 8 era, I bought a little 8" tablet PC from Dell. It was flaky from basically day 1, and after ~2 weeks it bricked entirely.
I go to RMA and they ask “If we refund you $50, would you be willing to keep the unit? How about $75?”
Admittedly, they did give me a refund, but that was so the wrong branch to follow on the chat script, honey. If I’m going to be out over three hundred dollars for a paperweight it better at least be made of something cool like meteorite.
Chromebooks maybe?
I always figured the browser part mostly falls out of doing the Electron-for-cross-platform thing.
