Hello, /k/,
I've recently purchased disproportionately heavy laptop and have been wondering of a convenient way to carry such a device on my person very near my center of mass. I need to keep it on my person almost always, but I only need to use it infrequently.
Here's my question: is anybody familiar with the viability of storing a laptop inside a plate carrier? If not, may we have volunteers in the name of science?

not OP, but I too have thought about this. I don't have any plate carriers, but I'd love to see someone try it.
lol
just get a single shoulder strap bag and cinch it up tight

But I keep all my anime and porn on there. It's taken me years of dedicated shitposting to build up my folders of dank memes, reaction images, and animu tiddies, they're far more valuable than a kidney or a lung, I can get by without one of those.
i doubt a laptop would fit in a regular PC unless it was really small

I mean it depends on the weight/size of the laptop and the type of PC. I'm sure if you get a PC that's big enough to fit your computer then theoretically you could carry it around fine.

lithium batter gets hit
bullet continues and knocks you down
battery shorts and bursts to hellish angry hot flames and slowly burns into your incapacitated body
i would rather not
i always make sure the seatbelt can't crack my phone in my pocket if i get in a crash. imagine you sitting incapacitated with broken arms and legs in your car and the phone burns into your chest suffocating you with toxic fumes.

you could use this on a cheap-o surplus PC

if your computer gets destroyed in the process of being killed its a win win. you dont have to get somebody to delete your internet history. all the porn dies with you.

he's not asking about using a laptop as a plate, he's asking if he can use a plate carrier as a laptop bag

Might cause the bullet to tumble and cause more damage

Get a backpack you fucking autist.
I never considered this but it seems funny as fuck. Someone give it a try.

>not having backups
Y'all realize hard drives have like a 15% failure chance each year after three years.

What are the exact dimensions of your laptop?

OK, so you're actually golden as far as width goes. It's the height that's going to be a problem - most carriers are designed for 10x12 plates, so is that extra 3 inches going to stick up uncomfortably? It's not hopeless, at least. I'm saving up for a nice plate carrier still so I can't test it for you yet. Maybe get one of those shitty chinese condor plate carriers and test it out on that? Some army navy stores will let you return merchandise if not worn.
Another option is finding a good laptop case and sewing yourself a rig for it.
Actually, this could be pretty cool
