Wow - look at this picture:

This is not from a wayback machine copy of dynamism.com - this is a new, Windows 10 laptop in 2020 (!)

[iso1631 → rsync]

HDMI, VGA, 3 USBs, ethernet, and apparently 20 hours battery life! What's not to like?

[crooked-v → iso1631]

Well, the best it gets is an i7 (and most of the models are i5, or even i3), so that could be a real pain if the procuring manager is a cheapskate.

Also, the screens are 1920x1200 across the board for the Let's, which is the same pixel density as a 1080p 16:9 monitor.

Without saying sizes you can't saying anything about pixel density.

And it has an optical drive?!?

Panasonic tends to refresh internals while keeping externals the same, although performance still sucks.

This variant was once offered in the US market something like a decade ago for "business-rugged" use under the Toughbook brand, but that magnesium exterior shell commanded a high price point; I suspect the ThinkPad T series would have been a direct competitor at the time with better performance options and being much cheaper.

Those things have looked the same for at least 15 years.

I remember checking out new laptops from Japan and being amazed at how small they are... With zero change, they now look antiquated :D

What is wrong/weird with it?

[flak48 → matkoniecz]

It's twice as thick compared to even a mid range Lenovo or Dell laptop, to start with?

Optical drivers still seem to be a thing...

And I don't think I've ever seen a circular touchpad before!

[nikanj → flak48]

Based on the worn-out spot on my touchpad, it seems like I mostly use a circular area on it.

[missedthecue → matkoniecz]

It looks like it would've entered the market in 2006?

Wow. 19.5h of battery life!
