What are your favorite insane laptops?

Mine is the Dell Rugged: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F56ION4_n0

Bump and fall proof, liquid proof, sand proof (and cat hairs proof I assume), extreme heat/cold proof, can be used as a blunt weapon in an emergency. Ridiculously overkill for anyone that's not a geologist working in Antarctica or an archaeologist in the Gobi desert, and ridiculously overkill is fun

I would like to argue but I can't... you win πŸ˜… That's just... I don't have words. Just wow 🀯 🀯 🀯

Every Macbook Air in the coffeeshop crashes out of sheer terror and awe when you unfold that nerdstation.

It doesn't look like this is even past concept stage, and it's already mostly obsolete. Is there something close to this that's a modern commercial product I can buy?

OMG I must have it.

Impractical. Why would anyone ever need so many screens on the go?

[–] phantomwise@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just to bask in the ridiculous awesomeness of it.

It's for people who are sadists toward batteries

For playing in my Mechwarrior 4 cockpit simulator on the go.

Damn. Probably the only people who wouldn’t mind the hassle.

"Impractical. Why would anyone ever need so many screens on the go?"

For the same reason why cars that can't ride over the slightest speed bumps are sold: low self-esteem and a high urge to stroke one's own ego.

…words fail me.

Bravo, fellow meatbag.

I wasn't ready to see that thing. Would have sprayed my drink out if I were drinking at the moment your link loaded. lol

I would love to have that just to show to co-workers and friends, just to see their reactions. I could see it being kind of nice to have if I really really needed multiple screens. But would never want to bring it anywhere unless it is staying in a hotel room for like a week and working (which I don't have a job that would even give that situation to happen anyway). Still nice to see mobile workstations still have room for wild-ass designs like that. Kind of like how more smart phones used to have really wild selling points.

Why hasn't Oracle made that
