Not impressed. A steampunk laptop should be completely steampunk instead of just the outside. It needs a steampunk CPU, steampunk hard drive, steampunk memory, and other steampunk components. Now as a steampunk-styled laptop, it is impressive.

Plenty of steam, but where's the punk? It should be jury rigged and barely holding together, not a marvel of engineering.

Steampunk computer, but not a steampunk laptop since this would crush the lap of anyone using it.

Can still create a laptop based on the idea that Victorian style lasted into the modern era. The components have to have a steampunk style for it to be a steampunk computer.

Laptops cause enough issues with their current levels of heat generation, now let's add in the possibility/probability for catastrophic disaster and severe burns!
They ALL float down here. When you're down here with us, you'll float too!

I beg your pardon? Whysoever would one, especially a man or -- dare I say it, a lady -- of genteel means ever deign to place any sort of machinery upon one's lap? No matter how marvelous its many mechanical attributes, one's lap is sacrosanct and, as anyone of superior breeding would know, inviolable. Such an affront to propriety would not stand in a gentleman's drawing room, never mind a more formal demesne. The only thing one might place upon one's lap is a finely-woven cloth napkin during high tea. Or perhaps a delightful strumpet from a harborside tavern. Merely in the interest of comparative anatomy, of course.|
