they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

My kids have been playing with my old netbook and I've had this same revelation. It's so small! It doesn't take up any space! You can hold it in one hand and type with the other and use it standing up! Why don't we still make netbooks?

(answer: because tablets were invented, but that's not the same thing)

a tablet is a netbook they didn't finish

I have a surface pro 5 with a typecover, and it's almost netbook-but-good except the typecover hinge is floppy and so you need a pretty big flat surface to use the stand on if you want to type while the device stays up

I have a Surface Laptop 2 that I bought off a coworker for $200. It's the best laptop I've ever owned, and it pains me how expensive the newer models are.

I love holding smol laptops in one arm and typing with the other. It makes me feel like a real pro.

gravis again @cathoderaydude5/9/2023, 5:11 PM

and the best part? the laptop loves it

Shoutouts to the extended rear batteries that also act as an extra lil handle back there.

correct so i can mallgrab it and go into a store

@secrets5/9/2023, 6:47 PM

I'm stuck on old cf-f9 toughbooks for the same reason. carry it around typing on it one-handed, if you drop it that's fine, then you fold it up and carry it with its little handle like you're a hacker in a zero-budget Johnny Mnemonic knockoff

the onemix 3 pro has rotted my brain fr; i hate all big laptops now. so annoying. so soft. "waa i need half a square meter of table space to compute" operator error.

the x200 was the final and truly perfect laptop shape. no trackpad means that only the truly enlightened could use it

Plum @plumpan5/9/2023, 7:46 PM

:yeah:

I switched from an old gaming laptop to a 13" Framework laptop earlier this year, and while I did it because I was so pissed off about the virtually unreplaceable keyboard on that old piece of shit dying and wanted to make sure I got the most user repairable machine I could find, I was surprised by how much I loved this smaller form factor and light weight.

Same laptop!

I've gone through net-books since the era of the MSI Wind and the x260 has been the best by far. Great keys, large enough screen to get actual work done.

I dread the idea of replacing this little guy. I walked someone through purchasing an X13 and I don't care for the keys and it feels so much more flimsy.

Bring back 11.6 inchers. 13s were a mistake. :(
