News Liquid-cooled laptop features AMD EPYC 64-Core Zen 4 CPU and RTX 4080 desktop GPU — vendor promises RTX 4080 Super upgrade down the line

I rest my arms on the table when typing on a laptop, with this one here being so elevated, I doubt I'd be able to use it comfortably. I'd have to carry around some kind of arm support to place in front of that laptop. I'm just not sure about this product.

Well, you could just buy a thick gel pad wrist rest. They are about 5-10£$€

Finally, some logic in form following function! Thin and lite just ends with slow and hot. They need to be bigger, thicker, so there is room for some real cooling. This is long overdue in my opinion. I hope everybody goes down this road with high performance laptops. I don't care if it weighs 5lbs, I don't care if it weighs 10 lbs, I am a full grown man I can carry it.... What I care about is a high performance chip that doesn't live on thermal throttle. These things need real cooling solutions, thin and lite just ain't gettin the job done!

Hello 1994 IBM Thinkpad.

I actually HAD this exact model, in 1994, and at that time it was an amazing piece of technology regardless that it was a suitcase.

I had one too, but no clue what model it was. It ran Windows 3.1 if I remember correctly. Ahh the good ole days, before everything got so connected and sooooo hot.

Ah, the good ole days, of a 10 minute boot time.

I never had problems with 10 minute boot times on that laptop. Waiting for Office or other applications to open however, was a different story. I do not miss the days of Windows 95 and prior versions.

We're finally almost back to C64 boot times.

It was nowhere near that slow! In fact, very comparable to any modern HDD PC/laptop. It didn't run a bloated OS, there wasn't that much going on in the background.

Remember when these were the craze?

I had one of these sad little things
Windows 3.1, IIRC.

I never had one of those. The Thinkpad I bought at auction in 94, which was only a few months old, was the first actual "laptop" I ever had. I think. My memory ain't what it once once though. There might have been one prior to that but if so I forget what it was. LOL.
