laptop carrying alignment chart

lawful good: packed away in a padded laptop bag

chaotic evil: open, holding one corner of the screen

(lawful evil: holding it with both hands with a full coffee cup on top, as if it was a serving tray)

@halcy chaotic good: holding it by the extra-capacity thinkpad battery sticking out the back

@noiob @halcy gotta say, I don't think I trust the latches on the battery enough to do that on any of my thinkpads, at least not any more (the batteries slide out the back, and are held in only with some worn plastic nubs).

They usually had reinforced lids and good hinges, so holding one by the screen worked fine.

Of course, these thinkpads usually have drain holes in the keyboard, so using one as a tray for a drink *with the screen open* would be an interesting show of dominance ;)

@noiob @halcy

I couldn't easily take a two-handed picture, so my evil is a little less lawful.

@kepstin @halcy how the fuck are you still dealing with an R61, it's so heavy
