That is a good point, but not exactly what I meant.
When I was picking out that Lenovo laptop, there were dozens of different laptops just from Lenovo alone with lots of hardware variety. Then consider all the different manufacturers I could have also chosen from.
With that much hardware, it's hard to find comprehensive reviews matching the exact laptop I was looking at. And from the few reviews I did find, none of them mentioned that issue.
A model of non-Apple laptop could have serious issues, but since it's not Apple, it wouldn't have anywhere near the same media presence an Apple laptop would. With their few SKUs and popularity, the issues are visible. I did not need to follow Macs closely to know about the butterfly keyboard issues, overheating issues, etc. I wouldn't have purchased a Mac back then given those issues.
But Apple got their stuff together and fixed that. And when I was considering the M3, there were no hints of any hardware issues from the reviews I saw and discourse I read online. And thankfully that matches my experience, it's the most robust and "it just works" laptop I've used.
