Addendum: no webcam or microphone. Firm keys. A bios that doesn’t make choices for us and lets you actually use the damn thing.

    not sure why you'd remove the webcam and mic rather than just have a hard mechanical shutoff?
    Make the wiring obvious so some reviewers can tear it down and show how it works and you can feel confident it literally cuts power to the components.

    No webcam is understandable but in the grand scheme of things mics don't cost that much. No harm in having them to make calls

    It’s not so much a cost thing for me as rather I don’t want onboard mics/cams in general. The quality is always shit and settings default over there when I never use those anyway.

    Come to think of it. As little superfluous bs in general.
