       | The two that people are complaining about most are:
       | 
       | - Arbitrary requirement of 8th gen or better for Intel
       | i3/5/7/9[1]. Which seems odd, given that some 2017 era Celerons
       | are on the list.
       | 
       | - TPM 2.0 module

         | about their laptops.
