Why is military tech so aesthetic?

Compass was used in a number of military applications as were other GRID laptops zoomer.

They were over-engineered sufficient to meet mil specs, like a present day toughbook. Not sure how he thinks this is not a "military computer" as not every military computer has to be an avionics, etc. grade box.

To continue, there were machines like the Librascope TCT tactical terminal which were absolute monsters mil spec in every way and could probably survive a nuke. Of the shelf shit like a grid beat brutally expensive things like this for most applications.

A TCT would be a very nice prize for a collection.

Not often you see that on the spec page.

Does Jow Forums approves dell in the military ?

Looks like something that would fit a fallout game as is

The 100 megabyte hard drive for this, by itself, weighed in at 85 pounds. A bubble memory unit would be another 80 pounds of weight. This thing was a contemporary of the grid, just to show how nuts milspec stuff got.

A keyboard to order in a tactical nuke strike with.

>Note the brutally expensive round Amphenol connectors only present on actual mil/aerospace grade stuff:
Nothing to do with the GRiD though, that used off the shelf connectors

I guess you didn't even bother reading the post to the end

It's not a militar computer, it was a consumer machine used by the military

>Nothing to do with the GRiD though, that used off the shelf connectors
I said the grid was merely serving as the terminal, if you had read my post. It's quite obvious which machine has round connectors in the image, I think.

Where did I claim otherwise? I just said it's a moot point to the argument that it was a "military laptop"

I wonder how old/staged that imagine is. When I was in the Marine Corps from 2012-2017 all the Tough Books were Panasonic.

holy shit

post them faggot

All ToughBooks are Panasonic, it's their ruggedized laptop line. Dell has their own ruggedized laptops.

Perhaps the only piece of tech untainted by weebshit.

>F7 for lunch
Mommy can bring it down to the basement without me having to leave my military tech thread :3

Because your pic is 1986 computing fantasy

I think you missed the point.

i'm sure you do have a butt loaded with GRIDS

I plan to buy one of these bad boys in September. A shame that they're only 14". I can't really find a 17" rugged.

nothing personal, should've used tried and trued 90's architectures.

I think it literally means "lunch". It looks like one of those 80's police mobile data terminals.Cops would probably press the lunch key to notify the station that they're on a break.

just a turkey sammy

cool phone, love those slide out keys

Are there military rugged laptops that are also reasonably priced?

any pepperjack cheese?

because it is purely functional.

Because it's all decades old and new tech looks like shit.

Old ones go for pennies on the dollar.

Marconi was better

Getac is what they should be using now but Dell got the contract because muh murrica

yer gettin a drone strike

I hope so

I have the 12" tablet version (I work in BHP Billiton, in mining). It's pretty nice, it comes with a sling, it's sort of a ultra rugged Surface tablet. The only thing is that the little trackpad FUCKING SUCKS and as result you have to use the touchscreen for everything.

This

>use the touchscreen for everything

That is the general idea, yes, you idiot.

shhhhh let the retards have their pseudo "aesthetic" the grass is always greener on the other side bullshit
