Recently, a question was raised in the US social networking Q & A site Quora: the laptop is not intentionally designed not durable? A man named Jeff Kay (JeffKay) communities technician gave his answer:
This question has two answers. First, on the whole, the laptop PC designed from the start and hope obsolete within a fixed period of time. In other words, firms developing these products have been worked out a plan: After a period of time, these products will be a problem, you either pay for costly repairs, or forced to buy a new machine.
Some brands may indeed do so. However, reducing the useful life can generate income in the short term, but long term there may be counterproductive.
For example, Dell apparently very durable, but every time you will find that a few years after Dell can not be reused, and the problem often lies in the power supply. Either a bad transformer or a bad motherboard bus. The former high cost if purchased separately, the latter must replace the motherboard, so they need Depot Repair. In either case, the warranty period will be over soon.
The existence of two issues this business model. On the one hand, this may force the user to purchase a laptop in advance, but may not choose your brand again. On the other hand, many people will regularly buy a new laptop, it may be a year or two, some people may spend three years or longer (the longest warranty period is only 3 years) will buy a new machine. And the replacement down the old laptop may be someone else or foreign sales, but these users get old computer after a failure, but not likely to purchase a new computer.
In other words, these old computers simply do not come with any new business, it will only damage the reputation of the brand.
I have some old laptops used for many years, one of which is a four-year Acer. In addition to a keyboard replaced because water, plus the battery life time by a few minutes, but it never had any problems. I had to buy this Acer spent less than $ 300. Recently bought a Toshiba laptop, I sent her daughter. Compaq laptop because she had already spent seven years, so this is a "new" computer made her very happy. Compaq is now my Plex server, which makes our whole family can watch videos on Roku.
Since the birth of laptop, lighter, thinner is the mainstream trend. Now the new models are thin, very light, but it will therefore compromise in terms of body strength.
Focus point if you open the laptop in the corner of the screen when it is possible to damage the screen. But this is mainly because of design limitations, rather than intentional. In addition, the replacement of the screen is much cheaper than replacing the motherboard, it is much easier to find video clips from YouTube will be able to learn.
Analogy spectacles. Every time I buy a new pair of glasses, the optician will recommend I wear glasses and want to use both hands when you pick glasses, avoid frame bending or have other damage. Because not listened to advice, I've paid a lot of tuition.
Open laptop should follow the same advice to hand on the center, not on the corner, which prevents uneven force. Of course, it is easy to give advice, but who actually did but not much - people will inevitably of convenience.
The same is true when using the CD-ROM drive, it is best to withstand the tray with one hand, then the other hand to release the disc.
Some computer companies do damage deliberately set the stage, but will not do tricks in the structural design. However, these companies or because of this little trick and gradually alienate old users. Over time, sales will certainly decline.
