I want a modulator laptop with no soul.
-
@Novyx though it only mostly solves it: I need
1. power
2. good keyboard
3. less weightand those are hard to do if the whole thing has to live in the same box. Thus my thinking that I really just need a portable display + keyboard.
-
maybe I'll hollow out a dead thinkpad with a decent keyboard and turn it into just a USB keyboard+remote display.
-
laptop keyboards are a crime against man and god
-
Foone's law:
Of course 90% of laptop keyboards are shit.
90% of all keyboards are shit. -
if I see that engraved on a mechanical keyboard I'm going to beat the creator with a model-M. I'm mainly thinking of mechanical keyboards in the "shit" category.
-
why do so many of these have batteries in them. Are they supposed to charge the connected device?
-
I think lapdocks are officially not what I'm talking about wanting.
These things are superficially similar but they're also completely terrible by my metrics. -
@foone What about one of the non-wacom monitor tablets? Forgetting the brands at the moment.
-
@foone 90% of everything is shit. even dirt!
-
I need GOOD KEYBOARD and A WORKING DISPLAY
not batteries and the shitty keyboards -
wat? a laptop keyboard with a battery??
-
@diedofheartbreak 90% of dirt is shit!
-
@diedofheartbreak it's not a keyboard, it's a "LapDock!" so it's a keyboard + display that only works while docked to a real computer (or a phone) but IT STILL HAS A BATTERY for reasons that escape me
-
I have no money and bad keyboards.
why can't I have no keyboards and bad money? wait -
@Novyx do any of those have a keyboard?
-
I also need 0% network.
No RDP, No VNC, no X11, no fucking IP.Computers are already too fucking slow, I do not want to make them worse by introducing network latency.
-
@foone You’d still have to graft that bit together if you went that route, as far as I know.
-
@Novyx at that point I don't really know what I'm gaining over just having a monitor taped to a keyboard
-
@foone for storing the... uh... settings? idk.
-
I might just end up duct-taping a small laptop to a keyboard
