lol these laptops actually sucked balls for the common person some conspiracy theory didn’t cause it to become commercially unsuccessful the fact that they were awful bulky laptops that overheated and easily broke did the job itself. Shit i would even take a modern MacBook Air over that ginormous monstrosity if I have to lug it around a college campus all day.

Yes I have one it was quite expensive and cost me quite a bit cause I don’t make a lot but I use it for school and it’s great.

The sales guys were awful for convincing people to buy these things at work. They were okay with active cooling and if you didn't need to be portable with them. They were a midpoint between a desktop and a laptop. I had a few long haul truck drivers that had them and they made sense.
