I bought an Asus Vivobook (M7400Q) last year. It sells with two variants, Intel and AMD. I obviously chose AMD…only to realise that the thunderbolt port on it has been crippled, not allowing USB-C charging.
Why? Because Intel paid ASUS to do so. So yeah, fuck Intel and fuck ASUS. And finally, the real kicker? ASUS discontinued the model, so I can’t buy a new charger for it either (which I needed for the office).
