Here are my top 5 pet peeves:<\/p>\n<p><\/br><br \/>\n<strong>1) Grey or black text\/symbols on black plastic cases, buttons and knobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/laptop2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"laptop2\" width=\"139\" height=\"130\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-39599\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What are they thinking of!! For example; I have a very nice Asus laptop with all the usual connection ports along both sides. The body of the laptop is black and the manufacturer decided to identify each port with a \u2026 wait for it \u2026 black symbol. Now, many of these ports are identifiable by their shape and size but there are also identical ports for things such as audio in and out \u2013 in for microphone and out for headphones. I can never remember which is which and identifying each involves a lot of tilting and a magnifying glass and torch. I wonder if the geniuses ever considered that a lighter color on black would probably be much more easily discernible\u2026 obviously not.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\n2) Optical drive eject button placement.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/optical-drive2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"optical-drive2\" width=\"130\" height=\"70\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-39604\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I wonder who decided that the eject button for optical drives fitted to desktop towers should go UNDERNEATH the extended tray? Maybe a contortionist? Why in heavens name can\u2019t they be positioned ABOVE the extended tray? Oh, sorry\u2026 because that would make life just too easy!<\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Power adapters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/power-adapter2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"power-adapter2\" width=\"142\" height=\"131\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-39607\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Why don\u2019t manufacturers place stickers on AC adapters which identify the product they are supposed to be connected to? We buy a new PC and it is covered in stickers with useless information; yes I know there\u2019s an Intel inside, that\u2019s one of the reasons I bought it in the first place. Oh look, it\u2019s running Windows 7, fancy that. Duh! Manufacturers seem to have a really skewed idea of what information we need and don\u2019t need.<br \/>\nWhy can\u2019t power adapters all be a size and shape so they fit easily side by side into a power board?  And why the heck can\u2019t they make adapters where the cable exits out of the TOP of the adapter instead of to the side which always gets in the way regardless of the size of the adapter. You know \u2014 the way they make most plugs!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/2012\/11\/my-top-5-pc-product-peeves\/\" target=\"_blank\">Peeves Continued Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from davescomputertips.com. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/peeves.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"peeves\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-39612\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love my computers and all that goes with them BUT, why oh why do manufacturers insist on perpetuating the awful design flaws which tend to irritate and frustrate most users.
