So much wrong with this design.


Like post-modern architecture at its worst.
Like most things in business, don't blame the architect/programmer/engineer, this was a management decision.
Everyone up top was thinking profits and not whether or not it would look right, be practical or made any sense what-so-ever.

It's the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet of computer cases.

Tp4 blames engineers for being spineless.

God damn it. 

Windoz autoupdated Tp4's laptop bios, which locked out undervolting.

It's a good thing "This" particular laptop allows flashback, there are cases where certain sections of microcode are fixed once Intel pushes them out (security vulnerabilities).


This is a huge problem, because old machines are slow already, and they get dragged down further by successive updates.
