Your claim that I quoted and thus referred to was about hardware bugs in particular.

After how many years of usage? How does x86 hardware compare after same time of usage?

The chipset bugs were remedied by the April2 chip, which, while slightly lowering performance, means that the bugs were not exposed.

The low amount of RAM on the Efika 5200B is not a bug.

Not a bug either.

Again, no hardware bugs.

Prices are not bugs.

And virtually nothing of this mess has been caused by hardware bugs, at least when applying the generally accepted meaning of the term.
Are you proud of what you wrote here? It's like you have some sort of internet-caused brain disease resulting in pedantry so extreme you miss the weight not only of what others say, but what you say also.
You've gone down my post with a big checklist going "technically not a bug! technically not a bug! I win I win!"
you're right in that a soldered down, useless low amount of ram is not a "bug" itself... so my corrected statement: These computers are overpriced, buggy, unsupported, and also:
badly designed.
