    probably everyone realized that google is peeking in your private business anyway so it’s ok to continue use cheap stuff + no play services installed.

      I know it’s fun to think “Chinese = bad” but I’ve had a Huawei matebook D14 for a few years now and it’s hands down the best value laptop I’ve ever owned. It’s reasonably spec’d (although is starting to show it’s age with only 8gb of ram). The build quality is fantastic, way better then any HP or Toshiba laptop I’ve owned. And has never had any thermal issues. I took it apart for the first time the other day for a clean and the disassembly was easy, no stupid mismatch of screws just simple. I will definitely buy another when the time is right.

        The root issue isn’t quality, it’s the security issues with backdoors to the Chinese government.

        Maybe you don’t care about your own data. But companies, hospitals, and financial institutions do.
