Browsing online to acquire a charger for an HP when I came across a list aimed to provide assistance that also revealed to me the gaping wound in HP’s legacy: a most self indulged naming strategy (aka nomenclature to the trade). It’s certainly not solely aimed at the benefit of the consumer and reads like an engineering feast, therefore, it’s hard to love.
I know we all loved RD D2 – but typical when there is long innovation/development timelines without marketing involvement, engineers and those close to the project often (emotionally) hang onto to the original project code names and it can bare tremendous influence on the public outcome:
