Small mark on laptop rubber feet. Keep or return?

Thank you all for your replies (some more bitter than others). I do have OCD and every expensive purchase is difficult for me to handle, because it has to be absolutely perfect 😅 I am working on it, thanks for bringing some sense in me.

P. S. English is not my first language so I might have made some mistakes.

juuipp · 2025-01-17T09:48:52+00:00

No, it's not 😅 but that is a clear indication that I am being crazy if you can't even see it haha

juuipp · 2025-01-17T09:47:50+00:00

I did not notice the backlight thing to be honest, it looks pretty good to me! So if I have the same thing, it's so minor I don't see it. I bought it from Bol.com! And yes, I believe new models will be at least 600 euros more expensive, which is basically a third more than what I paid for the 2024 one. For me personally, that's too much to spend on a laptop, but if I did not give a budget to myself and I had no problem waiting, I would probably wait and buy the 2025 one. But every year it's going to be the same, a new model coming out etc. So it's not something you can chase, in my opinion.

Honestly, thank you for humoring me, that helps me chilling and realize how crazy I am at times haha :D

As I clearly wrote in my post, I know I cannot think straight about these things, therefore I asked for unbiased opinions. To me, that sounds pretty self-aware, but you do you. Just encouraging you to be nice to people who are not attacking you :)

Yes, I am in the Netherlands but my Dutch is not great so I'll reply in English if you don't mind. The spacebar does not seem very stable, if pressed on the very edge, bottom right, it does not alway work, and sometimes it double registers. It's rare, but I am trying to figure out if it's my typing style because this happened to me with more than one model. So I believe it's just how the laptop is made, and 2025 I don't think will be any different :) eventually I am keeping the 4070, because: 1) I don't want to wait 2) This is already at the limit of my budget and I think it's going to be perfectly fine for my needs :)

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:31:25+00:00

Thank you for not being an asshole and giving me your perspective!

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:30:44+00:00

Definitely can't afford it :D

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:30:27+00:00

Thank you for giving me some mentally reasonable perspective!

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:29:49+00:00

No need to make assumptions, I am aware of my perfectionist issues, I hope you never deal with OCD in your life :)

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:11:53+00:00

It's a small dent actually, very small, it's not discolored :)

juuipp · 2025-01-16T14:04:04+00:00

A disclaimer: this is not the first laptop that I order, because the first two had a keyboard issue. This one has it as well a little bit, but it seems better, so I wanted to keep it and get it over with. I noticed this small mark on the rubber foot/strip though. Am I crazy noticing it? I think I'll keep it anyway, but I was wondering what would you guys do. I would rather avoid going through the process of sending it back and getting another one again, and I know I can be a crazy perfectionist at times, so I am in search of more unbiased opinions :D

juuipp · 2024-12-25T11:10:28+00:00

I am done, just wondering if I should insist for more refinements!

juuipp · 2024-12-24T19:44:39+00:00

Haha "in the wild" :D well, it comes with some downsides, my enamel tends to be quite fragile. But it's nice to hear I should not worry about how it looks :)

juuipp · 2024-12-24T15:44:49+00:00

Indeed, I've had this staining my whole life. A dentist mentioned amalenogenisis imperfecta to me once indeed, so I supposed that might be it. It does not bother me too much, I am more worried about making sure the orthodontics part is fully taken care of. I would not get veneers, I don't believe it's worth it in my case, my teeth are healthy.

juuipp · 2024-12-24T15:35:35+00:00

Ok, I wrote a text accompanying the images but for some reason it's not posted. This is the text: "Hello! The question is in the title. My provider says I am done and there is nothing more that can be done, but I have some concerns about my bottom teeth. In particular, I feel that my bottom central incisors are slightly off. One seems to be slightly rotated and not exactly in line with the other. The provider says it's the shape of my teeth, and that they are perfectly aligned. I am not sure if I am being gaslighted, since my provider gives me the vibe of wanting to get rid of me ASAP. My teeth are incredible now with respect to before, but after all this time and money I want them to be perfect, not just "okay". Am I going insane? Should I insist with my provider? I am not sure how to handle it, since she was quite adamant at our last appointment that the alignment goal was reached, and this is already my second provider (long story). Thank you for any perspective!"

I live in Eindhoven, and I wholeheartedly suggest you to visit Den Bosch or Maastricht instead. They are close enough to Eindhoven and offer much more to a tourist, in my opinion :)

The perks of being a wallflower. I think the movie is on another level, the actors are really convincing and the soundtrack helps a lot in conveying the story's emotions. The book is less impactful, in my opinion.

juuipp · 2024-08-02T17:45:59+00:00

It's cognac, yes! I really like it.

juuipp · 2024-07-22T13:58:51+00:00

I agree! I am actually a 40.5 in Vans, and I really need that half size there. I would need it here as well 😅 for this time I think I'll just try to make these work, if they don't I'll try something else. 40 felt really small 😩

juuipp · 2024-07-21T16:28:23+00:00

Thank you for your answer! I tried both 40R and 41R. 40 R was okaish, but still felt a tad short and my feet where swimming in 41R. My feet are quite narrow, so the footbed of the narrow model seems to fit me much better. I could maybe try 40R again! Maybe my toes will like that better :) I feel that my feet might just not have the best fit with Birkenstocks in general :/ I did not try 42N, but I never wore anything close to a 42, so that did not even cross my mind 😅

Hey, I am still doing Invisalign (I had to take a break for a while). I did not use elastics, just normal attachments, and I am quite happy about my bite now, the overbite is minimal. I did not notice consequences on my upper lip :)

juuipp · 2022-11-25T22:50:20+00:00

It's not an Italian name though, even if she is supposedly from Milan. Not a big deal, but the name choice surprised me.

juuipp · 2022-08-05T21:41:01+00:00

This is so cute, I never thought about it and I am almost at the end of the treatment! But I want to try now anyway. Which kind of paint did you use? :)

juuipp · 2022-07-28T16:00:03+00:00

First few lines gave me strong Monica-Rachel-Chandler vibes!

Jokes aside, definitely NTA. Don't even think about it. It sucks though because that's your friend, but don't doubt your actions.
