| How many people carry their laptop around and put it on their kitchen counter when they cook? |

| ▲ | nsxwolf 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't enjoy figuring out how to stand it up, or having the screen constantly lock. And I don't want to buy accessories or mess with settings to fix this. | | |

| Why would anyone do that in the first place is the real question |
| |
| ▲ | klausa 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | So I can view the recipe in trying to cook? | | |
| ▲ | alerighi 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | You can... print it? Or write it down on a piece of paper, or better a book, with a pen, like everyone did till phones and computers were invented? | |

| ▲ | klausa 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Just to be clear, I’m not usually using my laptop for this (though I have done before!), but it seemed like a pretty obvious usecase to me. | | |
| ▲ | iAMkenough 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | Rather than turn your old devices into more e-waste, this is also a good reuse case for them, if you haven’t already. | | |

| And what's wrong with moving a laptop around? They're designed to do that. The keyboard and trackpad give you great tactile control of what you're doing. |
| |
| ▲ | klausa 7 hours ago | parent [-] | | They’re not very well designed to be used with dirty and wet hands, and cooking frequently involves both. | | |
| ▲ | walthamstow 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | They're usually big enough to view the whole recipe, unless you got it from some trash website on the first page of Google | |

| And yet from what I can see on the product page this thing doesn't have video apps on it, and doesn't work as an Airplay video target, so you still end up with a laptop/iPad on the kitchen counter. |

| Is this really a good solution for cooking though? The grid of holes for the speakers in the main column are going to get clogged with food spatters in no time, and they wouldn't be easy to clean. An iPad I can understand, since you can just wipe it off. |
