That doesn't sound like "form follows function" to me.
- saagarjha 8y agoThe “form follows function” bit is Google trying too hard to shoehorn their “two-tone” design into a place it isn’t necessary and doesn’t belong. The computer would have been significantly improved if the palmrest just stayed the same material as the rest of the bottom case.
- sagarm 8y agoDo you consider the cold metallic palmrests typical in laptops to be somehow more functional? I find the rubber palmrests quite comfortable. Also your wrists are _supposed_ to be elevated when typing.
- likeclockwork 8y agoI don't see how 'trying too hard to shoehorn their “two-tone” design into a place it isn’t necessary and doesn’t belong' represents an application of the principle "form follows function". Form follows function is a principle associated with 20th-century modernist architecture and industrial design which says that the shape of a building or object should primarily relate to its intended function or purpose.
