I don't get it. For a few more bucks they instantly get their brand connonated with slowness and being unreliable.
How do manufacturers throw in all the crapware and expect a good user experience and happy customers? Oh of course, they don't care.
I've moved to Mac but back in days I used Windows, the VERY FIRST thing I did was to install a fresh copy of Windows, then install any necessary drivers which are absolutely required for proper function (I remember just finding the driver files and installing them manually from add hardware dialog instead of installing bloatware of the manufacturer).
Wish things have changed in 10 years... apparently it didn't.
And of course I'm tech savvy. I don't see any less-savvy senior being able to solve this problem; it should be regulated in a way that there should be a mandatory and ugly label showing all the crapware included with the device while buying, perhaps even extra taxing for each crapware included, discouraging manufacturers from including them.
