What are your favorite insane laptops?

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 😅 That’s just… I don’t have words. Just wow 🤯 🤯 🤯
OMG I must have it.
Why hasn’t Oracle made that
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.
ThinkPad W701DS. Depending on configuration it has an intergrated Wacom digitiser w/ pen, a built-in Pantone colorimeter, two RAIDed hard drives and of course the glorious second screen that pops out.
The w700ds/w701ds (“Dual Screen”)
… was not Lenovo’s last try at putting two screens on a laptop; see also the X1 Fold and Yoga 9i
Those things aren’t nearly as cool, though (IMO)
I was laughing my ass off at the “two 250GB hard drives” until I saw that the video was 16 years old 😮
I got a couple I really like, though for vastly different reasons:
- The MNT Reform series takes the crown for their commitment towards open source software AND open source hardware.
- The ASUS Zenbook DUO is an early entry in the direction of what I perceive as peak design. This technology will only improve from here and I hope other vendors will take cues from this one.

Wow, that looks like something I’d drag to LAN parties in the late 90s.
The laptop with a full sized mechanical keyboard on it. Oh and dual 330w power bricks.

Wait a laptop with full mechanical keyboard and CURVED SCREEN? 😮
Getac made some pretty cool ones.
Who’s going to start the YouTube channel for it called “Kennit?” where you see just what you can use it to do? First episode should be as an oar.
That’s needs to happen! I also want to see if it can be used effectively as a tennis racket.
