There is no such thing as a manly laptop. Not even the Tough Book. I think it's the small keys...or maybe it's the afeminite light tapping noise of the keys. It's probaly the fact that you can't really rest your wrists on the computer, so you instead do this sort of limp wrist hand ballet. Either way, you shouldn't be using one.
Think about it -have you ever seen James Bond using a laptop? Of course not. He has a pen that acts like a computer, he shits faxes, and his shoe makes copies. But there is no way in hell he'd go light in the loafers by using a laptop.
If you don't believe me - go to your local Starbucks or Panera. You'll see at least one man typing on a laptop. He's easy to spot - probably wearing a scarf indoors. He'll probably also have earphones plugged into the computer, listening to some "off the beaten path" band that he doesn't even like but that someone told him was inspirational. He'll tell those around him he's working on his screen play. In actuality, he's typing up his resume for the 12th time and nursing a skim latte.
Does that sound like a man to you?
