1. If u use your couch at least don put the laptop on your lap, the heat from the bottom of MBPro can make quite a hazzard for mens testicles and fertility.
2. If u carry the laptop in class it means u are not intrested in hearing something from the lesson. So i guess theres a reason why they dont have plugs near the desks and where your friends sit. Either tell your friends to go at the back so they can sit with you while u play an RPG on the MBPro or leave you friends where they are sitting and go "smash those orcs" at the back of the class and just remember to wear headphones so the orc killing doesnt scare the girls around! U must be kidding mate!
Anyhow ive still havent heard an important reason for working with batteries! Only spoiled kids wanting to work on the coutch or on a boat and the list goes on and on and on!
Im still waiting haa!
There goes another one working outdoors with a laptop, you too on a sunny day perhaps? Jesus! Have u ever actually tried this, or are u just seeing the romantic side of working outdors meh!
Hahah, so misguided, and so obviously a trolling attempt; where to start?
I have, and it's fine. Usually there's quite a bit of shade around campus, and I can gurantee there's significantly more shade than their are free computer labs during the peak of the day.
Additionally, when travelling, it's incredibly convenient to be able to check your email and news from the gate lounges [a lot of airports have free wireless these days], where access to a powerpoint is either non-existant, difficult [especially in a crowded lounge when seating choice is slim-to-none] or simply troublesome [cables snaking across the floor, etc]. I was in Melbourne airport for six hours, waiting for the check-in to go 'live' so I could get to the gate lounges for my flight to LA. I can personally assure you that there aren't any power-points accessible until you get to the gate lounge.
Do you use a laptop without pants or something?
Actually, being able to type notes in during a lecture is very advantageous, because you're keeping your information centralised; not across several pages and mediums [paper vs. electronic]. It's not difficult at all to pay attention and touch-type your notes.
What trains have power connections? Maybe one of the large trains that travel interstate, but the majority of metropolitan-based rail services don't offer any kind of power connections on their trains. The cost is extremely prohibitive.
Economy/Coach classes on airlines very rarely offer power connections to passengers in those seats. I guess only "... spoiled kids wanting to work..." in Business or First Class get to utilize their "MagSafe Airline Adapters" and "... the list goes on and on and on." Also, as I've already touched on before, apparently there is no shade outside. Where do you live, the Sahara desert?
I guess common laptop users like yourself buy laptops not for the [gasp!] portability, but just to look like you might, one day, use it somewhere besides a desk. Or not, who knows, maybe I'm just talking crazy talk.

Sure here are a few reasons, for its mobility (but not for using it with battery only), portable size, for its prestige when presenting work to a client...Is there any reason in particular that you bought a laptop?
A shade outdoors just isnt enough so that u can see your screen without probs. But then again, we all might have different stadards on what is a good environment to work on a laptop for our eyes. Apparently u have low standards, fine with me.
Beeing conventient doenst mean that some things should be convenient, thats why year by year they create us needs and year by year we become more and more spoiled!
So u say that heat doesnt pass though pants? I like your perception of things!
So u need a laptop to type notes during a lecture? Carry a whole laptop to class only to write your notes? Wow really practical!
How long might a metropolitan train take to go from 1place to another? 1hr? 2hrs? if u need a laptop in between sutch a small period of time then your should go check your self, it might be called addiction!
Dont eat what you are beeing served buddy, and they serve us stuff everyday. They create new needs for us every day, needs we never needed, and after a while needs we cant live without, needs we get used to!
I can still live without a battery on my laptop!
Well its quite different /more prestigious to present (im a graphic designer) your work on the very good lookin MBPro and different than on a pice of paper... thats what im talking about!What prestige would you be referring to?
Actually, I'm sure it's fine for a lot of people, and I've had no problems using laptops outdoors. But hey, keep clutching at straws and making outrageous claims, it's quite funny.
Of course it does, but you speak like you're using a frying pan on your lap every time you even consider placing a laptop there. Last I checked, air wasn't a great conductor of heat either, neither is most fabric. Maybe if you're wearing lycra pants I can see the problem though.
Fits in my bag along with all my other stuff, and I take my bag everywhere I go. It's no less practical.
It might be called 'making the most of my time' because I spend a fair time commuting. Your attacks are getting funnier and funnier though, I must admit.
And yes, I'm completely aware this guy is trolling, but I'm bored and need something to break the tedium of study.
