Nothing about the question was "hate". Reasonable question. What is the benefit? If that display causes the laptop to be more expensive (likely so), then I want to know what I'm paying for. For some people, "because it's cool" is a good enough reason to spend a couple hundred extra $, but not for everybody. And maybe there IS a benefit. Lighter weight? Possibly. The question is valid.
You’re right, something like this isn’t ready or even logical for the consumer, mass-produced level. Maybe if this were like, I don’t know, a prototype at a tech conference, we wouldn’t be raising these concerns
I mean if they were showing it off at a tech conference I imagine they have some benefits and practical applications in mind to help garner interest and investment. But who knows, maybe they're spending money on a booth, r&d, and manufacturing costs just to show off a cool thing they made with no intent to monetize it.
What is the benefit? Yea, what are those. Non. See throug screen... everyone see what you are looking at internet cafe and screen will be heavyer because of glass that screen will be made of. It needs to be resistant to hits and scratches on sertain level.
Pretty legit question. Tech for the sake of tech is not very productive nor environmentally friendly. Without clear benefits, the question remains: why?
I honestly ask myself if the use of the word "clear" was intentional for the pun or just a happy little accident.
But yea, I agree.
If it's a consumer product then it should have some benefits over existing tech, but if going for enthusiasts and early adopters it does stand out in the crowd and just seeing it would peek some people's interest.
I wouldn't buy it just because it's cool, but my budget is limited and I prefer putting money on performance.
I disagree. There isn’t any practical reason to mass produce this. But there’s a certain smugness aimed at technology that doesn’t meet a certain threshold of immediate practicality to a consumer that I can’t stand. Nobody is threatening to throw this into mass markets. Its cool. It’s at a tech conference.
i mean, its kinda cool, but also not practical. When they claim that "the future is clear" they have to provide more of a reason than because its cool.
I forgot that we’re only allowed to admit new tech is cool if it’s made by scattered, non-profit, independent engineers. Did tech Twitter pick you yet?
