> Wait wait wait OMEN MAX 16z-ak000 has a lot of capital letters, that one must be the best, right? But there’s also an HP EliteBook, Elite sounds like the best, do I still want a ZBook?
To be fair the names chosen are usually cringe and towards a specific market. To posit:
“Pro”, “Elite”, etc: professional audience.
“Epic”, “Fury”, etc: teen gamers.
“Yoga”, “Zen”, etc: you can guess.
You get the idea. The garbled names with an a, z or i suffix for slightly different SKUs is obnoxious and as hotz mentions confusing. But more to the point their marketing departments suck and lose to the Apple gorilla.
Reminds me how Porsche sells one car in a hundred configurations and they all cost a lot and yet they all suck.
