I'm curious: what's so awful about them?

Background noise I would say... and some huge issues with interrupt
handling (but that's any cards on any laptops...) which makes is very
hard not to have xruns.
That raises an interesting point - I wonder if Dell would consider
"noisy audio" a fatal hardware issue to the same extent that Apple
would.
