I already addressed the design. Nobody buys a computer for the circuitry. You don't walk into best buy and says "Can I see the circuit board design?". The buyer is an end-user, not a repairman.
I will buy an new acer if a need a quick computer I can throw out when finished with it. Like a temp to use for a day. They are useless after a month.
Likely due to your battery. Had the same thing happen and found out my battery was expanding and in poor condition. When the system detects battery degradation it throttles down your system to keep the heat down which in turn affects the performance significantly.
I was thinking the same thing. It always strikes me as a little odd that some people make it their mission to tell people why their choices don't pass muster. The market place will always decide who (or what product) will be successful. When I walk by the Apple store, there's always a crowd, and judging by the number of staff on hand, I'm guessing that they have the sales to match.
You can do it yourself. iOS will tell you the health of your battery in the settings.
Why would you resurrect a threat from almost a year ago to ask that? People want to know. Don't care? Don't click.
As much as I agree with you here, I'm thinking that you qre going to get a lot of blowback from those who believe that you just aren't cool if you don't use the current "tecky approved" device. It kinda' supports their superior belief that if you don't have the right hardware, you just don't get it. For me, I'll use what I like and what I'm comfortable with, despite my nephew's condescending attitude about his gear...
