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

      Seems like the sort of thing that might be used to set up like a mobile command station or something. If a disaster occurs and some agency/organization needs to stand up operations at a new location immediately, things like that

      Definitely highly situational, but I’m sure some organizations out there are willing to pay a pretty penny for convenience during those types of situations.

        I am pretty sure desktops can be used if you are in such a situation. Portable power has been a thing for decades.

          Well, if you also want to bring 6 monitors with it. I think the point of this is to be highly portable and easy to store.

            This is going to be heavy af and it probably has battery life of 10 minutes. So it will need a charger too.

              Sure, but it’s not like it’d weigh more than a desktop + 6 monitors, which would also each need their own constant supply of power.
