I put my MacBook down in front of me, ready to use it. But for me, the owner and user, the apple on the lid is upside-down.
I open the lid and look at the screen. Now the apple is right-side-up, for everyone else to look at.
I love MBPs but when I notice that it makes me think I’m secretly participating in a promotional video set in a coffeehouse full of hip people with loud sweaters and knee high boots.

- pests 3y agoThen you care more about how other's see you using a product than your own experience. That's fine.
- throwaway11460 3y agoIt's not like I experience the logo on my laptop that much. I experience others' much more. I think I do care about my experience... Seeing all the upside down apples would be irritating.
