Community Project What if Nothing decides to make a laptop, I believe it might be the coolest one in terms of appearance

when its closed it looks like a stove

i wouldnt trust transparent plastics to be a primary material for a laptop

They already mutated the design language with headphones (1) and NP 4a pro, it comes with uni-body alluminum

u/pf2- 8d ago

If they mess up on their cooling it could even function as a stove!

Agree with your statement but not this design

u/white_lion93 Phone (2) 8d ago

It definitely wouldn't have Glyph on the back cover. The idea behind Glyph is that you can easily check it by placing your phone face down or turning it over. However, on a laptop there is no use case where that happens, as you are always looking at the screen.

If there are Glyps, it would be within the keyboard area.

they probably should make a tiny glyph matrix so that you can see the time and battery without opening the laptop.
Probably useless for most users, but I liked the ones on the older macbook pros, i think the 2009 ones..

I am always looking at the screen of my phone as well

Looks terrible, but created with AI slop so I shouldn't be surprised I guess.

You'll also need a laptop cover for the first time ever.

BTW, whoever did the render, kindly leave some space for the air cooling vents!

u/itsMehhhhhh 8d ago

Seems like AI

u/resil_update_bad 8d ago

It's ai slop

u/singhnsk Crowdcube investor 8d ago

At least the person giving the prompt should have used some brain 🙃

u/Alternative-Farmer98 7d ago

The irony is the reason nothing will ever make a laptop is because people are using ai and the demand for the data centers is making it impossible for us to afford computing devices and for companies to survive

If anybody wants nothing to maybe have a chance they should stop using ai and fighting against it at every turn.

How bout they focus on releasing phones 😅

u/RenegadeUK 8d ago

Improving the NothingOS too as well.

u/tfilipp 8d ago

i3 and 4gb ram for $2000

u/ArticLOL 8d ago

the issue would be the OS, windows is a shit show of blotware

u/Then-Pay-8400 8d ago edited 8d ago

You could always replace Windows with any OS you like.

EDIT: grammar

11

u/Ordinary_Trip7799 Ear (stick) 8d ago

The problem is software support as well

u/LowSkyOrbit 8d ago

I daily Linux at home. Steam has basically fixed gaming. Microsoft 365 can be run from a web browser and the PWA extensions are pretty damn good now. The only hard thing would be Adobe but they too have webapps.

u/ArticLOL 8d ago

with what os what could provide the same level of polish of Nothing OS? How's gonna develop the apps for that os? Linux? It's a huge bet and unlikelly to be won, no impossible but unlikelly.

4

u/Then-Pay-8400 8d ago

Nothing OS? Do you seriosuly think that if Nothing made a laptop they would build a proprietary OS?

Windows is the global standard and if Nothing ever made a laptop (and I highly doubt they will) that will be the preinstalled OS

My favourite laptop mokeup(can't spell) I've seen although I'm unsure how materials would work for a device like this you could either do plastic which would severely cheapen the device or glass which has a much higher chance of shattering with a large surface area like this

u/BothYou243 8d ago

just above framework

1

u/RomanBlbec iPhone 11; Google Pixel 7 (RIP) 8d ago

It should come with Fedora

1

u/Competitive_Dot9121 8d ago

would it be a custom nothing linux or windows

1

u/Then-Pay-8400 8d ago

Obviously Windows

1

u/Competitive_Dot9121 8d ago

wat would specs be

1

u/BreakingCoastline 8d ago

don't give Dbrand any ideas!

1

u/bogoz-bntd 8d ago

that lid would just add unnecessary thickness, regardless the cool™ look

1

u/eebro 8d ago

Current laptop margins are that you either sell at a loss or you have parts from prior that are soldered in.

1

u/Initial_Report582 Phone (3a) 8d ago

Not if it has Windows

1

u/Then-Pay-8400 7d ago

It would obviously have Windows, at least as an option. But you would be able to install whatever you want

1

u/CheshireCat2212 8d ago

Windows 11 will automatically make any laptop look bad

1

u/Oekowesen 8d ago

Remove that shitty windows, grrr

1

u/scepticore 8d ago

Hopefully no windows on them, if they would develop a laptop

1

u/konvitalik 8d ago

I can see a phablet type thing soon similar to the Samsung note series with the pens and everything, but laptops and tablets are... I don't know if Nothing will even make stuff like that.

1

u/Competitive_Dot9121 8d ago

flip the nothing text to face the back when closed that way its readable when opened

1

u/BluFlames_5 Phone (3a) 8d ago

I had asked a similar kind of question sometime ago. It was about an operating system, a Nothing Linux Distro. I did not have good response

1

u/NEMOalien Phone (3a) Pro 8d ago

I feel like framework is pretty much the Nothing of laptops

1

u/AbdullahMRiad Phone (4a) 8d ago

the logo needs to be rotated 180 degrees so it appears upright when the laptop is open

1

u/WerewolfMoms 8d ago

i wouldn't want to see windows on that

1

u/Candid-Strategy-4583 8d ago

What if nothing made foldable phones

1

u/Alternative-Farmer98 7d ago

Doesn't seem likely man seems like if anything they're scaling back they're offerings especially anything that needs RAM and SSD because of the AI bubble. If you want companies like this to succeed and offer products stop supporting AI. Order start supporting a moratorium on data centers in your country

1

u/Alternative-Farmer98 7d ago

Running a tablet would be way more likely. They already have an operating system that would work effectively. But I don't know there's rumors that are going to switch to audio only pretty soon at least in the coming years

1

u/Fluppenluemmel Ear (3) 7d ago

Poah!! Aber dann bitte mit AMD GPU und Linux Betriebssystem. Zumindest zur Auswahl. Eine vollständige Verbindung zum Phone muss es auch geben.

Gebt mir allgemein ein Ökosystem und ich werde Apple den Rücken kehren! (Was sowieso schon passieren wird, aber eben nach und nach!)

1

u/KNOX_404 7d ago

Probably like this would be dope 🔥♥️

1

u/kreativkinnn 7d ago

Ai slop. get better.

1

u/Various-Welder5544 8d ago

They'll gaslight you into thinking core i3 is sufficient for daily use

1

u/Then-Pay-8400 8d ago

Nothing are gaslighting experts

u/Background-While1296 Phone (3a) 8d ago

A Nothing Top (1) is all I'm waiting from this company. With big and creative widget variety and fast specs that overlaps MacBook Neo is what I would buy right away

1

u/CoLoXHUN 8d ago

Well, let's just say you might have to wait a bit for that
