How else would you hold it if you’re walking without a bag?
Holding it out in front with both hands feels way more precarious to me for some reason I can’t put my finger on

Not sure why you’d have to be rich for that, that’s how I regularly carry my laptop. Just need some confidence in your grip strength.

Yeah that’s what I meant with hand under
But cheers for the artisanal illustration, very appreciated

From an IT view I can only strongly recommend against doing that. Unexpected things happen all the time and you don’t get coolness points for doing this.
Just carry it safe.
Also, from a user perspective moving to a new device at least costs time.
You’re also lucky you can rely on your muscles and nervous system. I regrettably don’t have that luxury which adds to the risk.

From an IT view (infrastructure guy) this is how I carry my laptop when taking it to meeting rooms or to grab coffee while on an online meeting or whatnot.
Except that I also have often lid open
Wouldn’t do that if I had some heavy 17" “portable” workstation that weights 7 kilos, but my t14s is light enough for that

Well, it’s only for short distance, like walking to the meeting room. For longer trips I put it in a back.
I consider this a perfectly safe method of moving my laptop in these cases. Hell, most of the time I don’t even close the lid when carrying it like that.

The little bump of the feet can hold the laptop in place, curl one finger around that side, second finger around the other, now you’re carrying a laptop by its corner between two bent fingers.
My SO has broken his laptop and phone so many times, but I haven’t once, so
