....on other news an elderly man thwarted a bear attack by beating the beast with a laptop. The same person could be seen tripping accidentally into the bear enclosure at the world famous SanDiego Zoo animal correction facility where this bear decided serving 3 consecutive life sentences for being at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
The bears family is suing for unknown damages and specially smooth toilet paper.
User needs one of those rugged laptops they use for UAVs and at Antarctic research stations. It'll cost like 2 grand, but it meets his requirements lol
2 grand isn't even that much in the grand scheme of things. A new Macbook starts at over 2 grand these days...
Framework baby 😎
I'll take a dozen of those :)
ive been suggesting that more people begin making custom cyber decks for years now. you can have a desk SFFPC level of power in a small lil suitcase.
Pepper spray? Out
Laptop so big you can bludgeon an assailant to death? In
14" screen 16x10 2560x1600 res dual video so i can use low power or light gaming.
Enough nits to see it outside in direct sun
Keyboard with a little travel, power button outside the keyboard.

panasonic toughbook / let's note
You don't want a 5" thick 50lbs laptop, you want something with Apple Silicon MacBook Pro hardware but more than 3 Thunderbolt ports for connectivity and not from Apple.
The thing lasts forever on battery, outperforms pretty much every (even wall-powered) x86 laptop chip, and has a ridiculously bright screen for a laptop. It's missing the ports and upgradeability (and easy Linux but that's another thing).
Yeah literally the only thing I wish my MBA has is more USB-C ports and on the right side. And who the hell needs a fucking cd drive in a laptop?
screen big enough to blind people behind me.
I don't think the size of the screen would make a difference for causing blindness. You want a brighter screen. But then it would also blind you 🤷♂️
I miss my dell workstation 2016
Look, this is Lemmy so I'm gonna downvoted to hell, but:
This is actually what the Macbook Pro does. After the USB-C-Only generation, they made them a bit thicker, added back some ports (though not as many as OOP seems to want) and you could bludgeon someone to death with one.
It's pretty delicate though right? And it has macOS
Bout as delicate as most laptops. A bit more than a high end business laptop, but much less than a consumer one.
But yes, it's got less freedom of choice than competitors. Linux is meh and Windows doesn't exist anymore.
Edit: I'm a moron and didn't clarify. On Apple Silicon laptops Linux is meh. Because of poor driver support. Windows doesn't exist anywhere though. It's dead to me. Never installing it again if I can help it.
“Linux is meh”
Sounds like a you problem.
Have you been able to get it working properly on Apple Silicon? Because my Linux experience on it has been meh.
On my X86 computers it works great.
So... Someone fancy building a portable desktop with built in screen and a battery?
Remember the old fashioned document cases from the 90's? With the handle?
Perfection.
I sold a couple Dell XPS M2010 laptops in the late 2000s that had the handle and all that.
