    Well, it’s only for short distance, like walking to the meeting room. I consider this a perfectly safe method of moving my laptop in these cases. Hell, most of the time I don’t even close the lid when carrying it like that. For longer trips I put it in my backpack.

      The little bump of the feet can hold the laptop in place, curl one finger around that side, second finger around the other, now you’re carrying a laptop by its corner between two bent fingers.

        Exactly, there’s a reason why some people break their stuff all the time and some don’t.

        But that’s okay. Man forges his own destiny.

      I’m not judging. Just advising 😁. And nobody needs to listen. But those who do might have a greater chance of keeping things in good condition
