i think i figured out a chunk of the market for gaming laptops. it's for dads who don't want/aren't allowed to have a full desktop computer, usually because they can't/won't dedicate the space for a desk for it, so they need something they can take out for a bit and then fold up and put away.

ya this actually sucks. i went to a dam project site in rural tennessee and turns out no one in tn knows anything about IT so the wireless wasn't workin and everyone was just using desktops over ethernet except me sitting there like a dumbass xp13 being unable to do anything. still billed hours sitting there tho :toot:

they called some giant honking fat don't-tread-on-me shirt redneck goon slow poo poo drawl to come out who knew absolutely nothing except to plug something into a wall and was stereotypical clueless guy "well when i plug this here thing into this here device shows green light is good" in the flesh

should've brought your da200 on the trip!

technically the xpses have ethernet, the port's just hidden behind usb-c. if you use the da200 or the thunderbolt docks, you still get your internal realtek's mac address

idk seems like you would just drop it off and come back? surely cant be that many people getting screens replaced htey wait in line to get into the store

also the store has been robbed like a 10 times, including several where they drove cars through the glass walls. after like the dozen robbery they now have a rent-a-cop or sometimes real-cop hanging outside.

the ms store at the tysons corner mall is in prime real estate in like the middle of the mall. they have an xbone set up outside with like let's dance or wahtever. no one is ever inside but there's always kids playing games. meanwhile the apple store is towards one end and is just a typical apple store but is always full. never see a line except around product launches, and even then they let people who just want to play with a funny computer inside without a wait
