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

    When gaming, I hold the device in both hands, just as they depict in their marketing material:

    When I’m on location and I have it sitting on the desk, I use the left joystick for scrolling and the right for moving the mouse, it works really well and I don’t have to grip it (I configured AntiMicroX on Linux to translate the inbuilt Xbox controller to mouse movements).

    It also has a builtin mouse mode, but you have to press the right trigger to speed up the mouse, so it’s very unconvenient when you’re not holding the device in your hands.
