True but not all tech companies are so forgiving. Most laptops I get have their warranty expire after a year, and I doubt they'd replace anything without charging something.
I feel like "forgiving" isn't quite the right word to describe a company that makes shit that breaks after less than 2 years...
Is that a widespread problem with decks? I feel like for the most part they're lasting ok. There's always gonna be an occasional dud when manufacturing something, especially when it's as complex as a computer.
This is anecdotal, but mine has been fine. Pretty great hardware IMO, especially for the first version of something.
Welcome to V1 of a brand new hardware platform.
You could always go with higher quality brands, like Tesla. https://www.notebookcheck.net/Tesla-car-reliability-lower-than-the-average-in-a-study-debut-as-Lexus-takes-top-spot.693018.0.html
Just kidding, let's go with Apple's two year average. https://www.computerworld.com/article/2752739/more-than-a-quarter-of-iphones-break-within-2-years.html
