  • Yep, I would expect her laptop to be in the same or worse condition, if it was mine.

    It’s build quality is practically nonexistent and if we expect the interiour to be like other HPs I disassembled, it’s probably hollow without any board protection whatsoever. Also, the fans are almost always full speed, even on moderate to low load (of the some gen of ryzen 5 which is actually decent).


  • Cool, so it’s way more durable than my Latitude 5290. I had my bottom cover screw inserts break when opening it. And the bottom panel is cracked in multiple locations. Also, recently had to reglue a display hinge, since it’s just glued on the plastic top panel via a metal extension (it also broke the bezel which I had to plastic-weld to reinstall it). But I also use the display frame as a handrest so it was doomed to fail. Also, I had to reglue or replace most of the rubber housing parts. Here’s my poor little laptop:1000005207

    I kinda feel bad for this laptop coming into my aggressive hands.

    I would recommend a Dell Latitude, but expect problems if you mistreat it like me. It isn’t a T430 or T440p, which survive everything.

    Edit: the green spot on the photo isn’t a spot on the camera, it’s a plastic-weld. Yes, it’s all screwed with in weird ways, all by me.

    Also, your laptop is in great condition, don’t worry about it, you treat it above-average-ly, unlike me.

    Well, they just recommended two different toothbrushes and a specialized toothpick. It takes ~40 mins to clean it all with a toothpick. So I just do it before my appointment. But at least I brush them semi regularly.

    And yes, I do have tartar in some places, I just can’t clean and would probably also have it if I regularly took care of my teeth.

    Fuck it I’m not flossing daily. It’s annoying enough to occasionally clean my braces.

    I actually get nauseous while touching the inside of my mouth with a toothbrush (or when standing for too long, so that problem might be exclusive to me).

    I’d rather just kill myself than have to brush more than two times a day and floss regularly.
