Most insane laptops? (lemmy.ml)

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

Who's going to start the YouTube channel for it called "Kennit?" where you see just what you can use it to do? First episode should be as an oar.

That's needs to happen! I also want to see if it can be used effectively as a tennis racket.

Getac made some pretty cool ones.

your Rugged reminded me of GRiD and it looks like they are still in business!

I've got a CF-25 here. I keep meaning to find the power supply and seeing if it still works :)

MSI titan line of monsters "technically a laptop, but is closer to a overkill desktop gaming monster". They all weighs like 6 kilos
