@electrineer i work with a school system and everything *new* sucks absolutely donkey cock to fix.
The older devices (like 2016ish, so not even thaaat old) are literally the easiest shit to work on.
A kid came in with a fucked up keyboard and i had that shit swapped in less than 5 mins. Same thing with literally any piece of hardware from screen to battery to trackpads.
But the newer models contained zero logic with product design -
@kwilliams coming from a “i have to open it and work on it” perspective and not a UX perspective with this one.
Coming from a UX perspective theyre fine. Kinda bloated with shit they come shipped with but other than that it’s aight -
@Stuxnet Even thinkpads suffer from this illness today.
HP makes shit devices. How the fuck you gonna regress with product design from 7 years ago?
Like whos the fucktard that thinks “how about in order to swap a keyboard, we make the user take EVERYTHING out and then put it into a new upper housing?”
Or my favorite is “instead of screwing a screen panel in, lets use some painfully difficult to access stretch tape?”
Fuck HP’s product design team. If by some off chance any of yall know anyone who’s part of that team, tell them i said they can eat a fat dick and get aids.
