Powerbook G4. It has the best keyboard i have ever used on a laptop.
All my other laptops are meme laptops (G40, x61t, T420.)

Tough choice between Toughbooks, and the last version of the Powerbook G3.

There are too many good laptops, the Poorpad 600E really is/was all-around GOAT though.

It's like an iBook G4 but less flimsy.

2013 17" MBP.

Needs a dock connector though, which would detract from the ascetics.

Why, the Panasonic RZ5 of course! It's one of the few laptops with a 16:10 screen.

Pretty much what I was thinking of too, though it probably didn't sound like it.

Even some weird-ass DuoDock-type thing would probably be pretty good if they could find a way to do it with their shitty aluminum aesthetic in a way that doesn't look like ass, maybe they could even use it as an excuse to murder the Mac Pro once and for all, it's begging for death already.
>>
>>55825823
What's the battery life on that thing? 3 hours?
>>
>>55826765
Maybe, but I'm taking you with me.

>>55827033
There's a couple different ways to do it, yeah. But Apple never did it.
>>
>>55827094
They just need to take a 27" iMac and use the space in the back for a laptop slot instead of computer guts

Toshiba Chromebook 2. No I'm not joking or meming. Insane battery life, m.2 based ssd (replaceable), gorgeous 1080p screen, and the skullcandy audio chip in it gives it ridiculous sound for a 13" laptop. I mean clear sound from across the room sound. Including the 128GB microSD card I put in it, it cost me $300 brand new. And chrome OS is more than functional for what I use it for. Found it can connect to Windows servers with no tweaking needed.

Why would you need a "dock"? Just have a little box that your keyboard and mouse and monitor all plug into, with a thunderbolt 3 plug that goes into the laptop. Or have the keyboard and mouse plug into the monitor.
>>
>>55827398
How's the screen? I just bought a Lenovo n22 Chromebook and regret it so much because the screen is awful, I should have spent a bit more for something like the Toshiba Chromebook.

That's a dock, anon. As for why one would want a ThinkPad style dock, why not make it even easier than your solution and just have a space on your desk where you place your laptop and it's instantly connected to everything and charging? Because that's exactly why I'll never buy a laptop without a dock again.

Amazing. I mean absolutely great. 1080p and very vibrant colors. Backlight is very bright and even at sub 40% brightness, more than easy enough to still see everything.

I get close to 13 hours battery life at 50% screen brightness doing standard web browsing. Around 7 hours if I'm streaming Blu-ray rips off of my server. This laptop only has a 3 cell by the way.

My model is the celeron 3215u and 4GB model variant. I believe there is an i3 model if I'm not mistaken. Crouton support works decent if you MUST have Linux. And the 16GB m.2 ssd can be replaced with a 120/250GB one. Just look up "m.2 2242 ssd" on newegg. They're like $65 for the 250GB.
>>
>>55827465
The last 17" MBP is first gen Thunderbolt. But yeah, that would work I suppose.
>>
>>55827514
Well yeah but if this is going to be a thing it'll be for their new models and the box will cost $100 and will only work with apple branded keyboards and mice and dual cinema displays.
>>
>>55827513
Nice. Well I'll probably upgrade to something like that in a year or so.
>>
>>55827398
As a happy owner, I agree with all anon says.
