What are some tech products that you want that you can't seem to find? (lemmy.zip)

Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

A high-quality laptop without any branding.

I'm currently using a 9-year-old, woefully underpowered laptop made by Xiaomi. Full aluminium unibody, and NO logo. Not printed on, not etched in, not glistening only in the right light. NO LOGO.

I'm not a billboard. I'm not responsible for your brand recognition. Ironically though, far more people have come up to me and asked "hey, what laptop is that" than ever would have cared if there was a logo on it.

It also just looks and feels fantastic, all-aluminium-no-logo just looks so sleek.

So yeah. I will not be upgrading until I find another laptop of the same build quality, with no logo. Tuxedo has that option for most of their laptops, but for some reason not for their only current full-aluminium body -.-

Oh, and don't come at me with stickers.

I'll extend that to every product as well. I hate branding specially in clothing.

Well then. Maybe you could wrap your heart in duc-ta-a-ape! *runs away sobbing*

Fully agree with the sentiment, and at the same time I think it's a lost battle. Even more so with more niche tech like cameras (where one is usually invested into an ecosystem instead of having just one piece of gear that can be sold on its own 5 years in - like a laptop).
