HP mounting their NVMe slot at an angle is just disgusting and I’m triggered.

    Its better than them not giving you the slot at all.

  4. Wlhalastrikes

    hell would be to good for whoever designed this.

    *When you realize there’s an inductor in the way of your NVMe slot but you don’t have time to rearrange the board traces to move it*

  6. NotJoeMama727

    There’s a decent explanation for this

  7. Wacky_Network

    you cant really see it anyways if its closed up just like bad cable management being hidden behind a panel

    That’s something only a non engineer would say, heck if the alternative is to redesign the whole fucking pcb, I’d cram that nvme in there vertically if I have to

    If you cared about hardware, you wouldn’t be buying HP

    The nvme slot is perfectly fine, it’s the rest of the board that’s wonky.

    Looks like other components got in the way or they could do it straight, but the screw will be to close to the heatpipe. At leats it’s a removable and thus upgradeable NVMe slot and not soldered.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but this looks like a shoddy manufacture. Fairly sure that slot is meant to be straight.

    I’m triggered you have an hp product lmfao

    If it’s stupid and it works then it’s not stupid

    Mass produced computes are so silly sometimes, that’s definitely there for the spec list and an up charge.

  16. Stargate_1

    I mean who gives a fuck, not like I’ll be looking at this at any point while using it

  17. It’s hp. Most of their products are disgusting

  18. Swirldogo

    Most likely it’s a revised motherboard for which they wanted to add an NVMe

    It does feel “wrong” to look at, but onjectively this is excellent design and good use of the space available.
