I think we should pass a law than mandates any product marketed as "Pro" or "Professional" shall include minimum 15 years of service, 15 years of spare parts and releases with repair guides and schematics.

I can only conclude that someone in marketing at Dell really liked ChatGPT.

It's like their entire product line can be named with a script seeded with random buzzwords:

function generateProductName() {
  const baseName = 'Dell'
  const buzzwords = ['Base', 'Plus', 'Premium', 'Pro', 'Max']
  let modelName = ''

  for (let i = 0; i < 1+ Math.ceil(Math.random() * buzzwords.length); i++) {
    modelName +=  ` ${buzzwords[Math.floor(Math.random() * buzzwords.length)]}`
  }
  return baseName + modelName
}

for (let i=0; i<6; i++) {
    console.log(generateProductName())
}

Dell should “Just shut down the company and give the money back to the shareholders.”
