The Beast From /g/

prof was talking about some students bringing in mini PC's and portable monitors to class and I could only think of this beast from /g/

A rugged, bulky IBM ThinkPad laptop is shown with a dark screen full of technical text and graphics. The caption jokes that a professor’s mention of students bringing mini PCs and portable monitors to class evokes this absurdly overbuilt “beast” associated with the computer enthusiast board /g/. It is used as a reaction to excessive, old-school or enthusiast-grade computer hardware. EN: A rugged, bulky IBM ThinkPad laptop is shown with a dark screen full of technical text and graphics.
