    I mean community support, as in the number of people using them and have experience, who know what works and what doesn’t.

    Tech support in the sense of stuff like bios updates is important too.

      Yeah, good point. The ability to download necessary firmware updates/patches from a safe, trusted source is easy to take for granted, but that shouldn’t be overlooked.
