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.
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
Exactly, there’s a reason why some people break their stuff all the time and some don’t.
But that’s okay. Man forges his own destiny.
I’m not judging. Just advising 😁. And nobody needs to listen. But those who do might have a greater chance of keeping things in good condition

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

I also do that, so I thought that this is a meta meme about Ben Affleck not using AI (thus his laptop lid is shut), because he has all the muny already.

You do you, I can only recommend not doing that.
