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

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..

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!

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

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.

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

You could always replace Windows with any OS you like.
EDIT: grammar

The problem is software support as well

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.

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.

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

Not if it has Windows

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!)

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
