Yep, and they trade on reputation, thinking that will let them off on other factors.
We have a store here, John Lewis, whose tech department sells lots of Macs and high-end TVs.
So when they got in some 17 inch HP android tablets, I figured, surely they can't be _too_ bad? This was before iPad Pros, and I liked the idea of a large tablet.
The thing was absolute garbage, stuck on an already-obsolete Android release. At least their returns policy was accommodating, but that's half a day I'll never get back.
