HP Computer Cases
Why Are HP Computer Cases So Popular?
If you visit ten friends homes today, you’ll probably see HP computer cases in at least half of them, even if the computer inside the case was not, in fact, manufactured by Hewlett Packard. So what makes their cases so popular? More popular, even, than their actual PCs? It seems odd, but if you add it all up, it makes sense…
HP Makes Durable Cases
An HP case is a solid tank of a computer case, it really is. You could use it as a work table in the shop and it would last quite a while with no cracks… Of course, if you have a good, solid plastic computer case, we recommend using it on your computer, not to build chairs with, but the point remains: These cases are sturdy, solid, and built to last years down the line.
HP Cases Look Neat
They really do. It’s that minimalist design. They only use a few colors in their cases, usually black and gray, and it just has a really simple, neat look. Even the HP logo is nice and understated. Some manufacturers choose to include pictures and elaborate fonts in their logos, so the simplicity of the good old fashioned H and P is a nice change of pace from the “More is More” philosophy of many computer case makers.
HP Cases Are Sealed Tight
Sooner or later, somebody will spill something on your computer. If you have a cheap case, if you bought some generic brand plastic shell to put over an otherwise excellent custom made computer, then you’re probably going to be buying a new computer. If you use an HP case, then you’re going to be buying a roll of paper towels to mop it up, and you’re not going to worry about the insides. Have you ever tried to crack an HP case open? It’s not easy. These things are so tight that you could probably safely use it as a coffee table with no problem (not that we’d ever recommend that, of course).
HP Cases Are Efficient
Minimalism is the name of the game when it comes to HP’s design sense. If you buy cases from certain manufacturers, they’re so obsessed with stylishness that they forget: Hey, someone has to find a place to store this thing! Many companies design their computer cases with all sorts of odds and ends and bells and whistles sticking out in every possible direction. HP designs their cases to slide right under your desk with no fuss or muss. If only all manufacturers could follow their lead, we wouldn’t be buying mismatching computers and cases to get the best of both worlds.
And If We’re Being Completely Honest…
HP has great marketing, and they’re a huge company, there, we said it. Like their design sense, their advertising strategy is equally modest and understated. HP doesn’t throw one TV commercial in your face after another, they just let the product do the talking and advertise just enough to raise brand awareness without making you sick and tired of it. Over the last ten or so years, a few companies went out of business in the computer industry, partly because of overly aggressive ad campaigns. As with the design of their cases, HP plays it cool in regards to marketing.
