Usability Quote of the Day

May 23, 2012

There's something very odd going on here. If designers made completely unrealistic assumptions about the physical world when designing technology, then we would blame them (and likely sue them) for technical incompetence. Yet when they make grossly unrealistic assumptions about human nature... we don't blame the designers, we blame the unfortunate people who are just trying to do what the design requires. -- Kim Vicente, The Human Factor, p. 45.    (via interaction-design.org)

The stretched screen has allowed for a luxuriously wide keyboard layout, making the ergonomics above par.

Another advantage of the wide format is that it is thinner than other notebooks (and not as tall when opened). The palm rest is also the right depth for comfortable typing. There's no shortage of grunt. The ATI Mobility Radeon X600 graphics can handle demanding 3D games."   continued ...   (Via smh.com)
