Hardware makes a strange pop noise.

If this were a lab machine I would agree with you. But in a quiet setting with no appreciable noises around me it is surprisingly unnerving. It happens quite often too in a 30 minute sitting. It is not just at start up, it happens with a switch of a browser tab to a page with video or audio that autostarts when you go to the tab. So dozens of pops. It is not a controllable experience for the most part and not volume adjustable as far as I can tell.

I am not advocating for a refund but I am inclined to disable the speakers and use the device for generic tasks instead of a lightweight laptop. I am certainly not going to travel with it any more. It's usefulness has become minimal which is not a great customer service experience. I am happy to have contributed to the project in this way but at the same time I am looking elsewhere for similar functionality.
