They "cannot guarantee" the product description of the 1.3k dollar laptop theyre selling is accurate because they used chatgpt to write it (thelemmy.club)

This cannot possibly hold up in court. You cant just advertise a product and then be like "*but actually we might be lying about some or all of these things"??? What the fuck are you selling then

Idk how Vaio are built these days, but Macbooks have been famously made from an aluminium slab by cutting out the inside space, for a long time now. This ensures solid structural integrity. Plus the display hinge is very robust too, doesn't swing easily.

I've had a Vaio back in the late 00s, it was slapped together from separate plastic parts and creaked with any movement.

    Oh I couldn't speak on their modern build quality as mine is from 2014, back when Sony still owned Vaio. I wouldn't choose it over a Macbook to use as a racquet, but that wasn't the intended use case then nor would it be now.

    I did use an Acer laptop for a bit once and that thing must have been damaged or something because the hinge was so loose it would slowly open up when I was typing. Eventually I remember propping it against something to keep from constantly adjusting it. Fortunately my Vaio doesn't suffer such an issue.
