Michal Marek At Apple, great attention is paid to every little detail. Former CEO Steve Jobs, his court designer Jony Ive and other big personalities from Apple made the company fanatically perfectionist. Even such companies, however, can obviously make mistakes when designing the product. But is it really a mistake? Perhaps it is just an insufficient consideration of all aspects of a seemingly intractable problem.
The logo on the lid of the Macbook was a frequent topic of discussion at Apple a few years ago. As you can see in this picture from one scene of the series Sex in the city, the logo on the lid of the Macbook was originally placed upside down by the designers, so when the lid of the computer was opened it was upside down. Employees of the Californian company have an internal system called "Can We Talk?" opportunity to discuss any issues with management. So this option was used by many to ask why the logo on the MacBook is positioned upside down.
The problem, of course, was that the Apple logo would always be upside down from one perspective. If you have a Macbook made in the last eight years, the logo is correct when you are working on the MacBook, but if you close your computer and put it in front of you, you will find that the bitten apple is pointing downwards.
Originally, the design team thought that placing the logo the way it is now would confuse users and make them want to open their laptop on the opposite side. Steve Jobs always focused on providing the best possible user experience and thought it was more important to satisfy the needs of the user than the person looking at the open MacBook from the opposite side.
Nevertheless, the decision was finally changed on the grounds that every user will quickly get used to the "illogical" opening. However, the problem with the apple being placed "head down" persists and will probably never be solved.
The way it is now, it makes perfect sense to me. Resp. It seems more logical to me than if it was stem down when used.
Well, mainly everyone can see that you have a Mac...:-D But I never thought about it that way, that the sign "ThinkPad" is reversed when I have ntb open...:-D
I didn't even know it was the other way round :)) It looks very stupid.
Cut the Rope Experiments is free today :) You don't have it in the sidebar
True, there are so many discounts now that a whole article was dedicated to them yesterday :)
aha, I see it there already :) I must have missed it when I read it yesterday :)

I don't understand how Jobs or Ivo didn't think of building a small display there, on which the logo would rotate according to the same principle as the screen of an iPad or iPhone rotates depending on its position.
Guess I'll have to call Cupertino and blow the horn to their above-average engineers :)
Jesus, that's another idea worth all the money... Go to America, you'll be famous ;)

I think that this is how the logo is correct.. why should I look at the reverse logo when opening the PC because I can't see it anyway while working and those who need to advertise their company can easily have it tattooed on their forehead and arouse admiration passers-by :))
and one more thing... I got two apple stickers for my MacMini that I can stick wherever I want and how I want... there's a way there too.
But isn't there a powebook in the photo? You're typing on a macbook
every friend who doesn't have a mac tries to open it the other way around, so there will probably be something to it :D
It's interesting that Apple has to address this and write articles about it. Acer, Asus, HP... notebooks have a logo like this on each of them, and I don't think that users would open the notebooks the other way around. Are MacBook users just stupid? :D
I'm probably a badass too :D because the first time I unpacked the MBA from the box I also looked for the opening on the other side :D but it's better for the apple to be right when the notebook is open than when it's closed... The photo from the movie looks scary almost like SatanApple :D
So I looked at laptops from most of the world's manufacturers and they all (except Lenovo ThinkPad) have the logo just like Apple. I don't understand why someone writes here about a problem when switching from another brand.
