请问HN：最近几代戴尔/联想笔记本的质量比十年前差吗？
我在过去的七年里一直在购买二手/新款的联想和戴尔笔记本电脑，最近我注意到新型号的做工质量令人担忧。
联想：前公司在2019年给我了一台全新的Carbon X1，但电池使用时间不到一年！另一方面，我从同一家公司购买了一台2017年的二手470S，增加了内存，没有动过任何部件，包括SSD，现在我仍在日常编程中使用它。上个月我买了个新电池，所以从技术上讲，旧电池的使用寿命大约是7-8年。
戴尔：我从戴尔翻新店购买了3台笔记本电脑和1台台式机（所以质量应该是稳定的）。其中2台笔记本和1台台式机是旧型号，1台是我去年12月购买的Precision 5550（2021款）。一切运作正常，除了5550，它的电池出现了问题（电量从31%迅速降到4%），而且（更严重的是）充电端口（时不时不充电）。即使我在2021年买的是全新产品，我也会对它只用了4年多感到惊讶。
另一个问题是5550使用USB-C端口。我怪自己在购买前没有仔细检查。我真的很讨厌这些端口。为什么大家都在模仿Mac？
我该怎么办？我实在无法为一台新笔记本电脑 justify 2000加元以上的价格，尤其是如果它的使用寿命不到5年。我更倾向于一台配备32GB内存的“低端”工作站，但由于价格原因，我只能负担得起一台16GB的非工作站型号。我不再玩游戏，但仍然希望有一款好的集成显卡。我无法承担Framework和其他Linux笔记本的费用，因为它们价格昂贵，而且通常在加拿大无法使用，所以运费也很贵。
上个月我从我现在的公司购买了一台二手Macbook Pro M1 16GB（2021款）。我还没有使用它，但我相信硬件是好的。问题是我不太喜欢它的软件，所以我意识到我仍然需要一台Linux电脑。
你找到什么好的选择了吗？

I have been purchasing used/new Lenovo/Dell laptops for the last 7 years, and I have noticed that the build quality of recent models is concerning.<p>Lenovo: Ex-company gave me a NEW Carbon X1 around 2019, and the battery only lasted for less than a year (!). On the other side, I bought a used 2017 470S from the same company, added more RAM, didn't touch anything including the SSD, and I'm still using it in daily coding. I did buy a new battery last month so technically the old batteries lasted for about 7-8 years.<p>Dell: I bought 3 laptops + 1 desktop from Dell Refurbished (So the quality should be consistent). 2 laptops + 1 desktop are older models, and 1 is Precision 5550 (2021) that I bought last December. Everything works fine, except for the 5550, which has issues with battery (dropped from 31% to 4% in a few seconds) and (more deadly) charging port (doesn't charge from time to time). Even if I bought it new in 2021, I would be surprised that it only lasted for a bit over 4 years.<p>The other issue is that 5550 uses USB-C ports. I blame on myself not checking it closely before the purchase. I really hate those ports. Why is everyone copying from Mac?<p>What's my option? I can't really justify the 2,000+ CAD price point for a new laptop, especially if it lasts less than 5 years. I'd prefer a "low-end" workstation with 32GB memory, but because of the price point I can only afford a 16GB non-workstation one. I don't do gaming any more but I still prefer a good integrated video card. I can't afford Framework and other Linux laptops because they are expensive and usually don't operate in Canada so delivery is expensive too.<p>I did buy a used Macbook Pro M1 16GB (2021) from my current company last month. I haven't used it but I'm confident that the hardware is good. The problem is I don't really like the software, so I figured I still need a Linux box.<p>Did you find any sweet spot?
