RIP cheap work laptop

headphone port hosed
"t" key popped off
then "o" key popped off
inner speakers maybe work, maybe don't 
inner lens obscuring my video cam
"out of memory" errors constantly
but the final kicker is my "h" key refuses to let me "h" and ffs, that letter is in every word.  Control V is giving me a headache.

Never again, elitebook.

You can pull the hard drive and make it an external drive for whatever you get.

Just tell your company that your quota needs to be reduced in proportion to the number of things that don't work on your laptop :)

Made me giggle too. It will make my manager giggle as well - as she says “no”.

I really miss my Lenovos.

I've made a case for a much better laptop. Wish me luck!

Lenovos are great. I keep getting stuck with MacBook airs and I hate it.

Not gonna lie, the Elitebook is pretty. Just really fragile. I’m not usually hard on machines at all, so when the keys started popping off (and not clicking back on) and I had trouble with inner lenses and ports when I am barely traveling with it (compared to previous years), I have to question its suitability for field sales.

Laptops don't last like they used to. I had a MacBook air for 2 years and it shit out on me. Everything is short term garbage now

I think the “lightweight “ laptops are not ideal, Air, Elitebook …just give me a big ugly black tank of a machine. I’ll put up with the extra 2lbs if it works.

Not my decision - it belongs to the company. This also means I don’t need to be my own tech support.

It’s not the greatest for performance, but I’m so glad we get MacBooks for work 😅

I have never had such a piece of crap, and I’ve had work laptops since 1999. Sigh.

Could always get a used base MacBook air/laptop from best buy and expense it if you're willing.

They’re dealing with it. Getting my temp next week while they sort out the warranty with the Elitebook. Since it’s still under warranty, ostensibly it can be repaired/replaced.

In the meantime, getting used to typing in Cockney with missing aitches.
