Not sure why you'd have to be rich for that, that's how I regularly carry my laptop. Just need some confidence in your grip strength.
From an IT view I can only strongly recommend against doing that. Unexpected things happen all the time and you don't get coolness points for doing this.
Just carry it safe.
Also, from a user perspective moving to a new device at least costs time.
You're also lucky you can rely on your muscles and nervous system. I regrettably don't have that luxury which adds to the risk.
From an IT view (infrastructure guy) this is how I carry my laptop when taking it to meeting rooms or to grab coffee while on an online meeting or whatnot.
Except that I also have often lid open
Wouldn't do that if I had some heavy 17" "portable" workstation that weights 7 kilos, but my t14s is light enough for that
I also do that, so I thought that this is a meta meme about Ben Affleck not using AI (thus his laptop lid is shut), because he has all the muny already.
Also this and using ceiling drops as a fall arrest device
You do you, I can only recommend not doing that.
When you think about yourself or users carrying their devices, what sort of devices do you envision?
My 2021 MBP has those round feet that stick out an bit and is like 5 lbs. It’s an aluminum unibody. Grippy in the hands and rigid. I can gesture with it and have absolutely held it at the extent of my reach with two fingers to physically block an excited (but leg-injured) dog from running. My 2024 Dell Precision is 7 lbs, smooth, slippery plastic, and don’t move it without two hands on it at all times.
But, truthfully - from my IT view - 5/26 blaze it.
Do what you want, when you want, how you want as long as you don’t fuck with the security of the device. If you mess up your work device, your employer should have a plan for that. It sucks, but that’s the cost of doing business and a reasonable employer should know that. Obviously, don’t be careless, but things happen and we can’t nanny everyone. We’re adults, and if people mess up their gear, then respond appropriately. As a matter of IT and organizational planning, clear, effective, but reasonable policies and contingencies should be in place.
As far as personal devices go, meh. All the devices back up regularly and there’s usually a budget or warranty program in place for repair/replacement.
Well, it's only for short distance, like walking to the meeting room. I consider this a perfectly safe method of moving my laptop in these cases. Hell, most of the time I don't even close the lid when carrying it like that. For longer trips I put it in my backpack.
Remember when the pc for some reason wanted to cool down in my backpack, nothing really bad happened but it sparked stories at work about real meltdowns (it can't breathe in a closed backpack, so big laptop needed to be shut down or in deep sleep or they just overheat).
The little bump of the feet can hold the laptop in place, curl one finger around that side, second finger around the other, now you're carrying a laptop by its corner between two bent fingers.
My SO has broken his laptop and phone so many times, but I haven't once, so
I sort of feel bad for doing that, and I am probably tempting fate, but it feels so natural to just hold it like a frisbee.
Exactly, there's a reason why some people break their stuff all the time and some don't.
But that's okay. Man forges his own destiny.
I'm not judging. Just advising 😁. And nobody needs to listen. But those who do might have a greater chance of keeping things in good condition
Yeah, how else would you hold it if you're walking without a bag? Especially if you've got something in the other hand
I guess hand under, perhaps
Holding it out in front with both hands feels way more precarious to me for some reason I can't put my finger on
Enjoy your custom 100% human crafted artisanal non-AI art
Step 1: Get a white morph suit with no gloves.
Yeah that's what I meant with hand under
But cheers for the artisanal illustration, very appreciated
I'm also here for the artisanals!
Okay, I need an artisanal to depict a political figure that is orange like a turd and carries no laptop because they're stupid and don't know how to use one. In the style of Beethoven symphony #5 please.
