No, it doesn't. It looks better in certain important ways:
1) the keyboard has real keys, not those stupid "island" keys that are all the rage now.
2) the screen has a taller aspect ratio, which is better for actual computing work, whereas laptops these days all have wide screens because of economies of scale with TVs and because people want to watch HD video full-screen instead of doing real work.
This looks more similar to machines from the golden age of laptops, which was probably between 2000 and 2010.
- Moru 2y agoI just bought the largest laptop I could find for work to get the vertical space. Turns out they don't make bags for those anymore though so I have a gigantic backpack that I have to squeeze in somewhere :-)
- WillAdams 2y agoYeah, the 16" Samsung Galaxy Book 3 Pro 360 taxes modern bags to the point I've been putting it in a sleeve and double-bagging it in my overnight bag when traveling. I've been considering using an old ThinkPad briefcase I had, and did bring home a ThinkPad laptop bag which was surplus from work, and will probably use that in the future. Meanwhile, my work laptop (with much smaller, but almost as wide screen) fits in a sling bag.
