Laptopmag.com has put together a list of the Top 5 Worst designed notebooks. Check out the list below.
1
The first-generation Apple iBook was one of those love-it or hate-it designs--we choose the latter. Featuring translucent colored plastics (Graphite, Tangerine, Blueberry, Indigo, or Key Lime), and a handle built into the hinge, it resembled an overgrown makeup compact.
***2
Bad design doesn't necessarily have to be limited to a product's exterior. Take the Dell Inspiron 5150, for example: This notebook's heatsink was improperly designed and resulted in dust being sucked through the vent, which prevented the system from properly cooling.
***3
As notebooks became more mainstream, many people found themselves debating the use of good old paper-and-pen versus the mighty PC. IBM attempted to please both camps with the IBM ThinkPad TransNote.
***4
We're all for pushing technology to the next level--but we have to question Sharp's motivation for developing the Actius RD3D, other than to prove it could.
***5
The Velocity Micro NoteMagix L80 is one of those notebooks that makes you question the sanity of its designers.
