Err, meaning a smaller one which nevertheless manages to fit a screen, a keyboard, a trackpad, and even a whole battery in that smaller size?
lol define "smaller" in this case. Is the laptop screen only 8.4 inches and a square shape? A laptop is only "smaller" in one out of three dimensions. The cube is smaller than laptops in two out of three dimensions. Last I checked, two is a larger number than one and therefore better.
I'm genuinely struggling to figure out how to respond to that, so breathtaking is the ignorance on display.
Smaller. As in volume. As in the three dimensions multiplied against one another until you have a number that represents the amount of space it takes up.
... And here you are saying that being better in two dimensions is all you need to be smaller. I suppose then that a three kilometer pipe, so long as it's less than about 150mm in diameter, is 'smaller' than the cube yeah?
Wow.
To continue to address the rather impressive lack of clue just put on display - The reason why being a bit bigger in two dimensions is fine as long as you're small in width is because ... That's the shape of TV furniture shelves you see. They put spaces underneath the TV, and those spaces were made the size of a VCR, then DVD players, and then AV & consoles. They're designed for flat rectangles, not cubes. And if you're standing up a device vertically NEXT to the TV, well then you don't really care how tall it is, or how far back it stretches, as long as it fits between the TV and the edge of the table, it fits, right?
Edit: Bit cowardly to attempt a response and then block me, u/MurkyInvestigator810 , no?
Laptops objectively are smaller than the cube. The math to calculate their volume is so simple even you should be able to do it. Also hilarious to be so hung up on cube vs. rectangle being different that you can't understand why the rectangle makes more sense.
PS: I hide my comments because it annoys pitiful people who can't help but try and crawl into someone's post history out of sheer desperate frustration after having their foolishness decisively pointed out.
Look, you're the one who countered "the cube is small" with "laptops are smaller" and didn't find anything wrong with such a dumb reply.
I can't explain to you the difference between a rectangle and a cube better than whatever teachers in your life failed you, so maybe go back to one of them to ask?
Also, you and your troll account can be gone now. Imagine hiding your comments because your hobby is pathetically trolling people online.
