Too bad. Then I don't want it..

This is as high as Strix Halo goes (128 GB). But I guess you could blame them not using LPCAMM2/SOCAMM2.

TLDR: In the EU, every new product has a mandatory 2-year legal guarantee from the seller. Apple's 1-year warranty is an additional voluntary commercial guarantee and usually adds little to no practical value. This should be made clear in the article.

There is a difference between the legal guarantee (in German: Gewährleistung) and a commercial guarantee, which Apple calls a warranty (in German: Garantie).

Under EU law, every newly purchased product comes with a 2-year legal guarantee. This means the seller is responsible if the product does not conform to the contract (for example, if it stops working because of a manufacturing defect). In such cases, you are entitled to a repair, a replacement, a price reduction, or a refund.

In addition, manufacturers or sellers may offer commercial guarantees. These are voluntary and can be free or paid. Apple provides both: the free 1-year limited warranty and the paid AppleCare+ extension.

In EU countries, the free 1-year commercial guarantee adds little to no practical value compared to the mandatory 2-year legal guarantee. Therefore, the statement "comes with only a 1-year warranty" is technically correct but can be confusing, since consumers in the EU still benefit from the 2-year legal guarantee.

However, the free 1-year commercial guarantee is the same worldwide, so it may provide additional value in countries where consumer protection laws offer shorter or weaker legal guarantees.

I agree with you insofar as the author should make this clearer and write something like:
"In addition to the legal 2-year guarantee in the EU, Apple offers a free 1-year commercial guarantee, which adds little to no practical value, and the paid commercial guarantee AppleCare+, which also covers accidental damage."

However, to make a comment like this on every tested product, one would need to read every commercial guarantee and compare it to the legal 2-year guarantee. That would probably require a whole additional legal team to do properly.

Quote from: chrome OS vs real OS on Today at 09:07:40Citizen_not_Consumer, the Neo is using the full fledged iOS, can the same be said about the ACER Chromebook Plus Spin 514?

ChromeOs has Linux native environment, and I can run massive scientific numerical models compiled with open source GCC and GFortran compilers. In contrast, the black box macOS is limited to what Apple allows you to install. (no native open source Linux is supported on Mac hardware).

So for me ChromeOS is more "real" and open OS than the limited "blackbox" macOS.
