The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Don't take my word for it, go and look at the motherboards yourself.

    I am willing to add to this thread as I find more examples of odd manufacturing habits across brand names. :)

    I wonder if they're supposed to do this, and if they thought they could get away with it since the models were released in 2 different countries?
    Whats your opinion? ;)
