Notes (from personal usage):
51+
52+
The first laptop was completely fine, although I wore the keyboard out in less than 10 months.
53+
54+
Some Linux utilities were broken by default, such as changing system sounds, and favoriting files/folders
55+
56+
The second laptop and the first laptop had excessive battery drainage issues
57+
58+
The second laptop had many graphical issues, and crashed very frequently. Installing Samba might have made this worse.
59+
60+
The second laptop incorrectly reported how much CPU a process was using, and the laptop always used 10-40% CPU at all times, resulting in quicker battery drainage
