Everyone knows what a laptop looks like, right?

How big is this laptop?

Well, you could get it with it’s own custom luggage.

Say what you want, but I’d like a 21-inch screen option today too!

3Asus ROG Mothership (GZ700)

Is the ROG Mothership even a laptop?

Designed to address the major performance sticking points of typical gaming laptops, the Mothership literally flips the script.

This allows the system to run much cooler, and perform better.

It was far too expensive, and not quite practical, but it sure was cool!

Laptops like theROG Zephyrus Duohave that design sewn up.

The Acer Predator 21x

At least ASUS had the sense to put a screen that fills that entire gap in their laptop.

The way HP approached it with the Omen X 2S just doesn’t seem worth the trade off.

The laptop so nice, I mentioned it twice.

Yes, this is the way you should do a dual-screen setup.

In fact, it harkens back to laptops from the late 90s and early 2000s at face value.

No, what’s wild about the FZ-55 is its modular xPAK system.

These systems are designed to be completely modular.

Oh, so you thought we were done with the chonky luggable desktop laptops?

Honestly,thisshould have been named the “Mothership” instead of the ASUS.

9Sony VAIO UX Micro PC

Before theSteam DeckorROG Ally, or all thoseGPD Winhandheld computers.

there was the Sony Vaio UX PC.

It looked so futuristic, that you’ll see John Conner hack some Terminator technology inTerminator Salvationwith it.

Panasonic Toughbook FZ-55

Which is impressive considering it only runs at about 1Ghz and had half a gig of RAM.

I guess Skynet was no match for the might of Windows XP.

10Lenovo Yoga Book

We round of this list of madness with theLenovo Yoga Book 9i Gen 8.

This is a fairly recent dual-screen laptop that comes with the works.

There’s a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, a stylus, and a folio stand.

You cant turn it sideways, put it into tent mode, or anything really.

So for once the “yoga” name really means something.

I’m all for laptop manufacturers releasing at least one or two whacky models every year.

Laptops aren’t the most interesting devices in the world, but who knows?
