[...] Parcelforce texted the delivery slot. No delivery. Parcelforce and HP’s tracking systems then claimed I had refused the parcel. I scheduled a redelivery for the next day. Parcelforce then rang me and the agent acknowledged a delivery had not been attempted and that the tracking information was false. It claimed HP had requested that the parcel be returned to sender.

Yeah, like anyone can specc out a beast of a machine to compensate for poor build quality and othet qulity of life stuff but I just value a more coherent and organic total package. Also aesthetically, I value that as well since I don't have any need for a beast. M1 seems toget the job done no matter what I throw at it.

But I get your point

This wasn't even a customized machine though - it was off the (Amazon) shelf, just really high-end for the time. Afaik they didn't offer any variants with more ram or storage. Just Intel or amd, with nVidia or amd. You got more storage with the Intel version, and the second slot as NVMe, but that was it.

The asus was likely a better built machine, but as being one-or-the-other, specs trumped niceties.
