It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Why do articles keep comparing this to a brief case. It’s so much larger than a briefcase and is just not comparable. In both size and appearance it more resembles a folding table. Actually I do think I have one very close to that size

Brief cases varied in size but I can't remember the last time I saw someone carrying a briefcase. It's definitely more than 20 years though.

They never varies in size that much, and realistically laptop bags are not very different. They’re all sized based on containing standard or legal sized paper.

Meanwhile that thing is huge, relative to the size of the person. It wasn’t hyperbole to say it looks closer in size to a folding table
