It’s interesting to remember Apple used to orient the logo so that it was upside down when opened.
That looks right to you as you open the laptop, but wrong to everyone else. Now when you’re in a coffee shop, all the little metal promotional billboards are correct.

- twic 7mo agoA wise laptop manufacturer would choose a logo which looks the same both ways up.
- shawn_w 7mo agoOr put the logo on a pivot so it's always right side up no matter the orientation of the laptop.
- exitb 7mo agoIt seems that other laptop manufacturers were doing the same thing around the turn of the century, although usually not as prominently.
- bluGill 7mo agoIn the OJ Simpson trail IBM made a sbecial thinkpad for the judge so the logo would be right side up on tv.
- PetitPrince 7mo agoClassic Thinkpad use to do that as well. A reasoning I've read somewhere (here perhaps ?): the laptop is here to serve you, not be an advertisement.
