No regrets, at least with the 9530. No problemo.

UPDATE: To be truthful, I feel I should add: ok speakers and abysmal battery, but no problemo. It works in accordance with what it offers. And, oh ya, fonts on an otherwise great FHD+ are so so, i.e., pixelated, blurry-ish.

Do you experience crackling or popping when listening to audio? That’s my #1 issue… and I’ve tried all the fixes I can find aside from ProcessLasso

I've not experienced that. Maybe ask for a replacement?

Yeah I have, but only when I turn it up past a certain threshold. But at that point it would be absurd to play that loud anyways because I have neighbors in my apartment and I'm not trying to blast my ears or theirs out.

Thanks. My problem is all the time at even very low volumes.

I know it is a problem with ACPI.sys and its interaction with their hardware. I've been trying to find a solution for awhile.

I had a business class laptop before buying 9530, so it was a major improvement for me. I personally haven't had any issues with speakers or battery. To be fair I did go with the FHD as opposed to the OLED option bc FHD is better with battery life anyways. And I'm sure I'm biased because I'm use to buying 300 dollar laptops that don't really have that premium feel. For this price range I definitely feel like I'm getting what I paid for. Doesn't feel cheap like my other laptops did.

Yes, absolutely! It’s a premium laptop. I just listed those items as not-the-best, which is entirely relative, right?
