you can't tell either of these things from the picture but the absolutely colossal scale of this laptop and the specific copy of linux that was in the optical drive when it arrived are a match made in hell

this computer is indescribably foul

what the fuck i just noticed the 4 trackpad buttons. Why

gravis again @cathoderaydude5/27/2023, 3:37 AM

the number is larger than four

ISO standard fire lizard @wolf-apparatus5/27/2023, 3:47 AM

how? i’m clearly only seeing four buttons there (the physical buttons under the trackpad not the printed labels on it)

gravis again @cathoderaydude5/27/2023, 4:03 AM

oh sorry i thought you meant the labels, which are backlit softkeys. there's just two ordinary buttons, there's a ridge down the middle is all

So, if you lay your human finger down on the trackpad like some kind of idiot that has gotten the notion of displacing the cursor, what happens? Do you have to aim for the 15% of that postage stamp that isn't covered with 𝒶𝒸𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝒻𝑒𝒶𝓉𝓊𝓇𝑒 𝒾𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓈!!, and start swiping around from there? Do most trackpad engagements turn into "well shit, it opened Mail instead so now I gotta deal with that before I can click the button that I was hoping to accomplish today".

10/10 pasteurization there on the gradient, no dithering here

"designed for windows xp (windows vista capable)"

i mean i'd believe one of those things is true

signal eleven @widr5/27/2023, 3:35 AM

oh my god it has an integrated analog tv tuner

Nire Bryce @NireBryce5/27/2023, 3:49 AM

those hand rests look like those silicone grease infused "nonstick" pans

The Toshiba Qosimo was truly the Nissan Maxima of laptops and I will not elaborate on this point.

FavoritoHJS @FavoritoHJS5/27/2023, 4:54 AM

...is that a laptop with a built-in capture device!?
what even is that anyways!?

@rakslice5/27/2023, 5:25 AM

shipping a laptop the size of a fast food tray with a little eighty-some-odd compact keyboard is really a move

@rotopenguin5/27/2023, 6:31 AM

I can't believe they put in not-totally-shrunk arrow keys and padded out a bunch of blank panel for that, and then mutilated the rest of it. Why did they have to cut the left off so hard? What the fuck is the Windows key doing over there?? Who wants Del down there? Who gives a flying fuck about insert just put some meaningful booster keys in a sane place

@rotopenguin5/27/2023, 6:32 AM

the more I stare at it the deeper I slip into madness

FavoritoHJS @FavoritoHJS5/27/2023, 6:33 PM

wait, that's right, didn't notice that...
why did you do this osmio, this could totally fit either a ten-key-less or whatever the name for a keyboard without the dedicated "home/arrow/prt" section is.
