I guess my work laptop will need to have a catastrophic failure before it will be replaced. Request for replacement was denied. It was supposed to be a new machine, when I arrived 'sorry, your laptop was assigned to someone else. Here is a refurbished model almost at end of life'.
Multiple black screens. Cannot connect two monitors, keyboard, mouse and headset without it complaining about resources in the USB-C hub. Monitors won't show full resolution. Headset microphone doesn't work most of the time. Headset works on other machines and if I unplug and plug multiple times it might work. Boot up to workable desktop is 10 minutes.
I have old laptops that work with the above, zero issues and runs faster.
