Too much preinstalled software
Preinstalled software bundles on notebooks may make sense to marketing types, but we heartily loathe systems that arrive overloaded with the stuff. Links to web pages on the desktop, full versions of free software, trial versions of paid-for software — it's all just 'bloatware' for many users. We'd much prefer a CD offering all the 'extras' that can be installed (or ignored) as required.
