  • I have a lower end, but capable gaming laptop. R7, 1Tb Nvme, 32Gb, RTX… It is easy to open, service, expandable, with space for a SATA 2.5, for example. Spill proof, lighted kbd, etc.

    It’s kind of built like an old school ThinkPad. A tank.

    And that’s why I’m getting rid of it.

    The thing IS a tank.

    I really use it as a laptop, I do onsite stuff, so I lug this thing around all day. Many use these as “transportable”. I don’t, I have a beefy workstation at home, so the laptop generally lives in its backpack.

    So, for me, a professional grade, light but sturdy, and repairable machine is just what the doctor ordered.

    If you need rugged, some gamer laptops are pretty tough and accessible, but you will pay the chunk tax.

    If you REALLY want rugged, get a proper ruggedized laptop, and carry it around.



  • I don’t concur. I believe you are talking more of graphic style, while I’m talking more about the worldbuilding, the ambiance, the conceptual, pre-steampunk visual language. While Shuiten is a sort of Ligne Claire extremist, I find Moebius very difficult, if not impossible, to classify. He is often called Ligne Claire, but his style is often very gritty, and his protrayal of movement is clearly inspired by Franquin, the master of movement. Moebius has such an ability to move between styles, while keeping his personality, that makes him very difficult to classify.
