Counter take: the industry pushes these things cuz enough people buy them. Maybe we're teh niche, not the mainstream.

    so annoyed rn okay, Ill go first sooo nobody else has to feel brave: touchscreens on laptops are pointless ;) There, i said it. Ive owned enough gadgets over twenty years to have an opinion and Im sticking to it 馃う Lets keep this friendly tho. Whats the tech belief u hold that most people around you disagree with? Bonus points if your opinion annoys at least one person you know in real life. pls help 馃檹

    partly agree. A lot of features are designed for teh review and the store shelf, not daily use. the test i use: would i miss it after a week without it? most things fail that test. hope that helps :)

    disagree, respectfully, features that seem pointless to you can be accessibility features for someone else. dark mode, touchscreens and bigger text options matter a lot to pepole with eye strain or motor difficulties. fingers crossed 馃

    lol same thing happened to me mine: backups are more important than any upgrade u'll ever buy, and almost nobody has a good one. that's not a hot take, it's just ignored. worked for me anyway 馃し

    oh ive been there lol my unpopular opinion: most performance complaints come from too many startup apps and browser extensions, not old hadrware, check Task Manager > Startup apps before buying anything new. good luck man!
