Coo, we might need new computers for the GNOME events box. Can you
point me to the 250$ equivalent for those:

They work well enough. We have people doing work upstream and downstream
trying to make them work better. Except that we don't spend our time
continuous testing the installer on hardware that we might only have one
model of.

Cool, don't buy them, don't use them, but there are plenty of other crapola
hardware to go around in the non-Mac computers we support, and you just don't
see the amount of work done upstream for the undocumented ACPI devices
to make a single button work on your laptop.
