Utterly unreliable.  Drives that fail in months, batteries that catch

Are you drunk?  These things are identical to the "Advent" rubbish

Now you're talking!  I've had several IBM / Lenovo machines over the
years, and all have been excellent!

Hard luck!  You've been deprived of a good laptop experience.

Why?  SSDs have a limited number of read / write cycles, and are
hideously expensive when compared to conventional hard drives.

Not in my case.  It's often a replacement for a desktop machine when I'm
working either away from home or out of the office.  If you just need a
portable disk, you could save a fortune by just buying a few USB memory
sticks!

really shabby!
