One data point doesn't mean it's a design flaw. Most people aren't going to take their MBP offroading, so why should they make compromises just to serve this small, but now vocal minority?
- mikebridgman 14y agoOffroading isn't the only source of bumps - turbulence while flying, public transportation, strapped to a motorcycle on backroads... I think the point is that when the computer is powered off and the lid is closed, there is absolutely no reason it should ever power on by itself.

- jerf 14y agoMy Dell Studio 17 won't. The power button is on the side on the hinge of the lid, and it will not power on if the lid is closed.

- gmaslov 14y agoI think for just about any activity you can name besides checking email, most people aren't going to do it. Yet I'm sure that almost everyone with an MBP does something besides email with it. You can't design for the average use case when an average user doesn't exist. Maybe I'm overstating the variability in MBP users, but I hope you get my point.
- Too 14y agoWhy would they have to make compromises? Both possible solutions for this problem doesn't require any compromises at all...
