The "perfect laptop" described here sounds more like The Homer. It's like they asked 10-year-olds to design it.
- jrockway 18y agoExactly. I could do much better -- "It would have negative weight, so it would actually float. It would have 128 dual-core CPUs and 42 GPUs. It would ship with a new operating system that would do all my work without me even asking." This is equally unrealistic, but a much better fantasy.

- antiismist 18y agoYup. A big part of good design is making tradeoffs, which isn't really addressed hear.
- iigs 18y agoThank you for introducing me to "The Homer". That's good stuff right there. I had to make at least three conscious attempts to continue reading the article, each time my soul having been crushed by the fact that people thought having a three rotating folding screen with integrated smartphone, external wireless subdisplay and midi jacks and 500g flash drive was a good idea.
