And that tells me that a lappie isn't a whole lot of use in practice because either the screen is so small it's a PITA to use, or the whole thing is so big it loses it's portability. Hey ho.

Phones are getting bigger - many are already as big or bigger than tablets. Just give it a few years and there'll be phones with 12-14" screens. Lapphones

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if all of this comes full circle, and we end up using mainframes again.
I can see it now, every home will have a mainframe; we can make them look like refrigerators (mini and normal), color choices too.

That'd be nice actually Closer to how authors like Asimov imagined the future would be.

I'm starting to think people are secretly in love with Apply, they talk about them so much. Come out the closet man, it's ok.

Ah - you missed the look of delight on my face when my nephew, a video-editor (professional real thing) bought a PC instead of an iSheet. His family had moved to that evil cabal, but now they all have LG phones. Slowly but surely, a smear of sanity returns.
I've never owned an iAnything - part of the "Just Say No!" program.

I have, and both have their strengths. I do think Windows tends to be nice for the developer, but Mac has its strong points too. Kinda silly to bash something you haven't used daily don't ya think?

I would call anybody who bought one a sucker considering that you could build almost 3 top-of-the-line gaming desktop PCs with $9000. 2 if you include triple 4K monitors.

I would not buy this either, but surely the market/purpose for gaming desktops vs gaming laptops is distinct?

While you are correct about their own respective markets, there is too little bang-for-your-buck with gaming laptops for me. I have an older gaming laptop but it's the fallback for when my machine goes on the fritz and I have to wait two or three days for parts.

Nah, the keyboard is too cramped.

And it will still manage to break within two years.

No word on the battery life?
My bet is 20 minutes, even brand new...and only declining over time.

It has two power adapters and 2 power slots, I'd be surprised if it even runs on battery.

What's the definition of a laptop again? I believe this qualifies as a luggable computer, barely.
Reminds me of Osborne 1[^] .

You up to doing it today, or do you want me to have a go?
