Laptop Query

[charliesteve]

Hi I have just purchased an HP Laptop which doesn't appear to have a button to press to open the lid like my last one did. I have just pulled it up to open it. Do some laptops not come with a button to open the lid or have I broken mine and there is a button hidden somewhere. Might seem a daft question but have to ask it anyway.
Thanks

I have never had a lap top that opened with a button, just lift and go.

I haven't seen a new laptop with a button to open for I don't know how long.

I'd regard a button as a rarity. My laptop and netbook are both 'pull to open', as are the vast majority of laptops I've bough cheaply at auction.

Just goes to show how long ago I had my last laptop and thanks for the replies at least I haven't broken it

Yes the one I am using also does not have one. Basically the flap is now stronger and not as easy to push out. Hence the mechanics are different.

I have a Lenovo which has a sliding button to open.

I've never seen an HP with an opening button.
