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

    Impractical. Why would anyone ever need so many screens on the go?

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

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

    "Impractical. Why would anyone ever need so many screens on the go?"

    For the same reason why cars that can't ride over the slightest speed bumps are sold: low self-esteem and a high urge to stroke one's own ego.

    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.
