Hardly a laptop, that’s a clam shell desk top. You’d crush your bloody legs having that on your lap.

I don't know about that. My wife's 100+ pounds and I'm usually pretty happy if she's on my lap.

She’s not as easy to turn on as my laptop though.

I'm not an expert on women, but I don't think they're supposed to have shells.

It’s okay as long as they don’t sell them on the seashore.

That is furniture! Plywood top and bottom. Just needs some folding table legs and a big suitcase handle!

I think we need an independent opinion. Send your wife to my house with the laptop, and I'll figure out who's right.

Saw the build video (I'm a fan), and they did indeed put that whole thing on Katelyn's legs and she was using it. Although it took two people to put it there and I'm guessing it wasn't for very long.

It totally can if you are a giant…..

The project is ENTIRELY for being silly. Their criteria was that it needed to function as a laptop, with internal batteries and everything. Others have made larger “worlds largest laptops” but they weren’t internally powered, one massive one at a trade show even had a rear projection ROOM. (See hackadays recent article on this for that one) - this laptop is useless, the keyboard is even unusable big…. But it DOES all function so theoretically a giant could use it as a laptop.

The people who made it tested it out in their youtube video, I think they had to wear some kind of leg padding.

My thoughts exactly. There is no point to this thing.
