I bought a Dell 7610 laptop based in part on the review PC Magazine did on the hardware, where they gave it a "4/5" and called it "Excellent". I then spent the next 8 months fighting with Dell because I was shipped one of their defective laptops with the touchpad issue that affected some 40% of the entire production line. 4 touchpad replacements and a motherboard replacement later, I'm finally getting sent a replacement laptop. PC Magazine still has that review up calling the 7610 "excellent". See here: https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/dell-inspiron-16-plus-7610

There's nothing excellent about the 7610. It's a piece of crap with a 40% failure rate.

I will never trust anything these shills say again. If they recommend it, I won't buy it.
