Re: hp 15c bezel reflectiveness/ logo pic request Message #7 Posted by Tadeyev on 19 Feb 2007, 10:29 a.m., in response to message #1 by Robert Jenkins
Hi Robert,
Just for general information:
I have been collecting these models, with special accent on the earlier versions released the same year or two within their official entrance on the market.
The early bezels are interesting, in that they seem to use a clearly 'thicker' layer of aluminum, but also have a very, very slight 'crosshatch' pattern against the lengthwise graining/finish. It is alomist impossible to describe or photograph, but it is there...
Similarly, the logo's are of changing/dubious quality sometimes.
The earlier model logo's have thick layers and stay good for years. whilst the later versions, such as the 11c from the late 80's, tend to wear away if the user used the cover alot..
So sometimes, what looks like retouch or fiddling, is just caused from a different supplier or change of specs in the aluminum or logo sub suppliers for HP...
Good luck with the finishing!
Tadeyev
