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
Do you grip the device in both hands to use the joysticks, or do you just move them around with your thumbs? It looks rather thick, but also very cool.
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.
I want one of these but Lenovo has the 11e with ryzen Apu and 8gh of ram for 80$. It's 1 inch bigger and more replaceable. That's what I'd go with if I could get another machine. I have too many machines as it is. Anyone want to trade an HP ProBook 8265u 16gb ram 256? It's a fucking monster and I barely use it lol
