Mar 15 2010Proving A Point: Chinese Man Silently Destroys HP Laptop In Store
This is a video of a man silently destroying the shit out of his laptop at an HP store in China because it wasn't living up to his expectations. Damn, guy, if I quietly destroyed everything that didn't live up to my expectations I, uh, wouldn't have lost my voice so often.
The brutal destruction of the HP laptop happened eight months ago, but it's only just now come to light thanks to 170 formal complaints against HP products in China.
Jesus, if there were 170 formal complaints lodged, imagine how many casual ones there were. Which, according to a quick calculation, is over 90 billion.

If he didnt take out any screws and it was ripped apart that easily i can see why the dude is pissed.

Ah - the perfect way to vent some anger vicariously!
3. Sups - March 15, 2010 12:22 PM
Good idea, now i want to go to those pricks at Lenovo and destroy my own notebook LOL
4. Karol - March 15, 2010 12:23 PM
Nice. I'm surprised it broke apart that easily. He is SO relaxed too! That's insane.
5. Jaja - March 15, 2010 12:24 PM
What a rebel that guy is. xD
He must totally have more than 10 friends!!!
6. Greatsayain - March 15, 2010 12:30 PM
how was that silent? I'm sure everyone in that room heard it. He definately made noise he he stepped on it and banged it agaisnt the floor.
7. billabong021 - March 15, 2010 12:54 PM
that SO wasn't silent but that laptop was completely flimsy.
I'm going out on a limb and assuming that laptop was made in china for chinese consumers which means the manufacturer probably did a crap job, once the foreign consumers are satisfied HP wont question production standards, chinese consumer complaints can probably be supressed by the chinese manufacturer.

That looks like the same laptop I have.
11. j - March 15, 2010 1:57 PM
thats what happens when you buy things 'made in china'!
thats how easy they break, if that had been a good ol american laptop, it would have been encased in magnesium and carbon fiber.
buy American!
12. boba - March 15, 2010 2:31 PM
Why do you have to put "Chinese man" GW? All you had to say was man destroys lap top in store. I it was a black man would you write "black man destroys lap top"?
The race of the guy is irrelevant as in regards of this video!!!!!!!!
13. j - March 15, 2010 2:49 PM
actually, i have a lenovo, and it is the best damn laptop i have ever owned.
its soo much better than my last laptop that was super heavy and the battery died off in less than six months!
( i am looking at you dell)
14. Di$hy D - March 15, 2010 3:15 PM
@9, he should have used his superior math skills on it.
@11, mine is encased in Alumtinium. Which is better (cheaper) than Adamantium and Unobtainium.
@12, it wouldn't be news then. That's the ch1nk in your logic.
15. MehBluKitteh:3 - March 15, 2010 3:27 PM

I've got an HP laptop. It's a horrible piece of shit. I'll never buy anything from HP again.
It's still better than an Apple, though.
22. kellie - March 15, 2010 4:15 PM
Actually, I had an HP laptop...in America...and the screen eventually detached itself from the body of the laptop, just how it looks in the beginning of the video. Except I didn't WANT that to happen.
I have a Mac now. My life is significantly better.
23. Beege - March 15, 2010 4:32 PM
Jeeze. That's gotta feel pretty satisfying lol.
24. joshee - March 15, 2010 6:43 PM

I have an HP laptop and it's great so far - I can play Mass Effect 2 and it only cost me NZ$880 new. That's a goddamn cheap laptop.
27. boney - March 15, 2010 7:28 PM
That is so photo-shopped... Have you ever tried to get the bezel off? Impossible, yet he makes it look so easy.
28. undoings - March 15, 2010 8:39 PM
I like watching him struggle on the screen, give up and return to the keyboard.

@ bob #12
GEE GW? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO SAY "MAN DESTROYS LAPTOP!?" WHY NOT SAY "PERSON DESTROYS LAPTOP" WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO SEXIST!?
Stop trying to be so fucking politically correct. Who would even give a fuck if he DID make a post like "Black man steals a bicycle"
Besides, I'm pretty sure he meant Chinese as in "Man in China"
30. PJ - March 15, 2010 10:27 PM
I am just glad to see that Americans aren't the only ones that make Jack-asses of themselves in a public place when they get pissed off.
31. personify - March 15, 2010 10:30 PM

32. Vaganza - March 16, 2010 12:24 AM
Awww...cry me a freaking river.
People expect far too much from cheap laptops these days, I see it all the time.
33. Captain Taco - March 16, 2010 3:48 AM
No! It's not the laptop's fault you can't get Google! STOP!

Dude should have gotten a Toshiba.
HP? Srsly? The only hp you should buy is a printer.
37. Jaded Icon - March 16, 2010 9:40 AM
@ 12
GW's headline states "Chinese man..." is meant to be read that this man is from China. If he was from Sweden then GW would have wrote "Swedish man..." The fact that you implied racism leads me to believe that you are American and live in your mothers basement....
38. skutch - March 16, 2010 10:41 AM
@12 - He put Chinese because that makes it funnier. Now FRIGG OFF.

dudes. or ladies...please....I am a Chinese man, and it is OK for me to see "Chinese man" in these post headlines. No racism topics are involved here, alright?
You know 315, International Day for Protecting Consumers' Rights, right?
HP laptops were 315ed in China. Not because it's manufactured in China so it is a crap, but because the Customer Service is making people mad. Yes, these laptops are low quality products. Many of them are made in Southeastern Asia... I admit that things manufactured in the US are always having higher standard than things made in China... but anyway it is manufactured by HP... the rest of the manufacturers in China don't have such ass problems...

Oh by the way....you might check on www.youku.com... it is a Beijing based video site... a hell lot of astonishing things are happening, and shot, and posted on Youku.
51. Dave - March 18, 2010 10:37 AM
I have that same fucking laptop. It fucking pisses me off more often than anything ever has in my 19 years of living.
I want to do this so bad.
52. Ryan - March 22, 2010 6:24 PM
I have that laptop and yes it is a totally piece of shit. HP dv9000 series. Stay away from them.
