    If only life were that simple. Whose laptops am I going to buy?

    Dell: Marks up replacement SSD prices by 10x (including the predatory behaviour of embedding QR codes to these in the bios to be shown in error states)

    Apple: …

        And I did. The issue is they put in a QR code for their own $800 500 GB SSD in the bios error message for when your SSD breaks.

        My non-technical friend had no idea it’s an obscene price and may have bought it just to get his laptop working.
