Why do they do that? Disgusting.
to scare off autistic users
what
Why do laptops have edges? I don't understand what you're asking
To look thiner, like the new iMacs.
>>46735742
I think he's talking about the tapered edge, how it curves inward to a point.
Yeah it's to make it look thinner than it actually is. Not sure why thinness is so important, I think a bit of thickness is actually good for deeper keyboard and more ports.
>>46735908
Ha ha, haven't seen that in a while.
Are you referring to the tapered edge? I hate it too.

This. Edges scare off autists.
Hence Thinkpads being the "cool" laptop of /g/ etc..
It's so disgusting, it makes me puke everytime I see one of those.
I made a picture to further elaborate what I'm talking about.
it be like this

disgusting piece of shit that ...?
>>46736071
Autism.
>yfw thinkpads do it too
>>46736112
It sucks, but at least it looks good when it's closed.
>>46736112
dont tell the autists
>>46736060
>Them short american pints
There's 16oz in a Man's drink, clappers
wow, so much autism in one thread. Even random people are less awkward than you are.
I have a T400, but it's just too heavy and 6 hours of battery life on Arch aren't enough for me.
I looked for a new laptop on amazon, but after seeing this, I'm seriously considering a Macbook.
>>46736112
I think the overall squareness makes up for it.
>>46736222
Do it, you'll just have to get used to OSX.
Macbook without OS X == crap
>>46736274
This. You either get a MacBook to use OS X or you get something else.
Everyone rants about the trackpad (oh, it's so smooth like it's predicting my movements before I make them!), but try using another OS with it. Turns into a spastic retard. Asus or Dell XPS isn't too bad as an alternative.
>>46735994
what about the edges around the screen
>>46735742
When the fuck did we start calling laptops notebooks?
>>46736399
since people stopped using them on their lap
>>46736399
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop
>>46736360
Not just the trackpad, the whole system feels sluggish, not to talk of the battery life.
A lot of shit can be said about Apple, but they got their hardware optimisation well for their laptops.
>>46735742
Put arrows over their laptops?

It's easier to pick the laptop up off of a flat service, for one. Why does it matter? I never even notice, it's not like you are ever eye level with the base of a laptop
>>46736499
I used to sleep next to my thinkpad, we always used to stare into each others eyes for extended periods of time.
>>46736484
Oddly enough he seems the most natural, the other two are awkward as fuck.
EVERY PORTABLE COMPUTER MUST BE A PERFECT CUBE WITH RAZOR SHARP EDGES

Guy it's the Chromebook Pixel's designer!
Can I have your autograph?
>>46736600
This would please me more than you could ever possibly imagine.
>>46736600
I'd cum buckets.

Since men have suffered from overheating testes as a direct consequence of using them on their laps. This is the reason why manufacturers prefer to use the notebook nomenclature - do not use these machines on your lap if you value your sperm to be fertile.
microsoft once designed a laptop with no edges
but they realized it was a logistical nightmare during the prototyping phase
>>46735742
This really is 'Autism: The Thread'
>>46735742
So people have an easier time picking it up. Are you retarded?
>>46736917
It's actually autism: the board.
All non-general threads (and a lot of those too) are autism threads.
>>46736927
Picking up your laptop has not been a difficult task for decades, seeing as they are no longer the size of three briefcases.
>>46736973
Yup, you're retarded.
>>46736993
What are you, 3 feet tall or something? That half pound of heft taxing your spine?
>>46735742
It actually makes it easier to pick up from the front and carry around open.
>>46737011
No. I just like having something to be able to grab onto when picking my devices up.
>>46737028
Your dick will do.
>>46736993
Not him, but unless you're a cripple, you're really not going to have any issue whatsoever in picking up any modern laptop, edge or not.
Personally I'd go for a more square design any day.
