That laptop is no longer a laptop, it is a bomb.
Transcript
A photo of an extremely swollen HP laptop. The panels are kept on with clips. The caption says: "User calls about disc being stuck in another computer, mentions off hand about this laptop. They’d been using it like this for weeks…
An HP with a fucked up battery. Jaw dropping.
It’s like they go out of your way to give you fucked up defective batteries. Then they make their laptops nearly unserviceable, so when I get a replacement battery I tear the shit out of the case to get it open.
And it’s always hp. I’ve had other laptops for 10 years with functioning batteries. These HPs fail in like a year or two. I have one now covered in stickers from all the damage I had to do to open it and replace the battery.
It must be some sort of hobby. Especially with the Elitebook series.
The G1 had a bad charging curve and tended to produce spicy pillows. HP fixed it with a firmware update, and since the G2 had mostly the same design, they were fine.
Then the G3 came out, again with an incorrect charging curve. HP fixed the problem. The G4 were fine.
G5? Bad charging curve… wanna guess if the G6 was affected?
Seems like the battery did the opening for them already, in this case.
Yeah, see maybe that’s their plan. The battery opens the case for you. Brilliant.
Yeah, I had to replace the battery on mine twice already. Last time buying HP for sure.
Just curious, was this a typo, or do you pronounce Hp Ach Pee?
edit: typo, ironically.
I’m not even sure where to start with this one.
How do you pronounce it?
haych pee.
Cool Hwip
That how I pronounce it, so I’d write it that way, too.
I am Swedish and say:
