Notebook manipulation

[asnt90]

Hello,

I must point out that I am a rather impetuous and clumsy person. Several times I have found myself handling my Victus 5 absentmindedly with just one hand. Recently, I have noticed that, when I do this, the case does indeed deform due to the weight of the device.

I wanted to ask if these devices were actually designed with these improper manipulations in mind. Is there a risk of damaging or even permanently bending the internal components in this way?

I apologize if my question seems a bit strange, but I am genuinely concerned. Due to the temporary deformation, the touchpad even presses itself (due to the pressure exerted internally on the lithium-ion battery).

I hope the designers take this into account. I hope there are knowledgeable individuals who can provide me with some reassurance.

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Best regards

When I first started using Notebooks many years ago, you could not pick one up with one hand, let alone use it.

But since then, they have gotten lighter and lighter -- and flimsier as a result -- with the result you have noticed.

Yes, if it deforms while lifting it or using it with one hand, you should not do that.  That is one of the prices you pay today for these ultralight laptops.

Thank you very much for your answer.

Hehe. No, by manipulation I just meant lifting the Notebook and moving it from one place to another, not using it. I don't think it's possible to use the Notebook with one hand.

Clearly, it would have been better not to do it, but now it's been done, which is why I am still concerned.

Anyway, it seems really unlikely that they didn't think about it. According to some reviews, the Notebook's design is sturdy. If it were to get damaged so easily, it wouldn't make sense to market it.
