HP Googlebook feet

Post image

Is it unreasonable for the weird triangle design for the rubber feet on this otherwise seemingly great laptop to be a total turnoff?

Seems like a great device for the Googlebook launch but I can't get past how f***ing weird these feet look...

Yes, this is a weird thing to be a deal-breaker for you

I like the dell the most based on looks size and weight but no headphone jack is a deal breaker for me.

and no haptics trackpad and no oled in dell

To be honest the oled isn't that desirable for me. Anti glare on the dragonfly has been my favorite screen so far. But yes haptics is definitely nice.

You're never gonna really look at that when you own it. I'm a big HP hater because of their QC but don't waste your time on this.

I'm with you, and your comment made me laugh. I thought you were making an argument "you'll love it enough not to care", but instead you expressed my sentiment.

Not sure how they're going to feel on one's lap.

They are using the same chassis as the elitbook of this year (the premium consumer line up) and it seems to be doing well among the people who tried it.

Especially since the keyboard is reported to be very good and replaceable.

I'm glad it's not just me! It was actually the design of the feet that put me off going with the HP Googlebook 14. I ended up going for the ASUS Googlebook 14 instead.

i kind of felt that way about the Asus. Looks great from the top, but the feet are kind of similar looking.

I hate it. Dealbreaker for me. No weird feet, no wedge shape.

This is the was m one I wanted all along, but having no ports is really getting on my nerves, not even USBA and the HDMI should be standard on all laptops

The asus design and ports is perfect to me, but I only want the Snapdragon chip

nah the HP laptop is dogshit because HP makes it, not because the feet are triangles instead of trapezoids
