Remember when the pc for some reason wanted to cool down in my backpack, nothing really bad happened but it sparked stories at work about real meltdowns (it can’t breathe in a closed backpack, so big laptop needed to be shut down or in deep sleep or they just overheat).
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.

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

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 sort of feel bad for doing that, and I am probably tempting fate, but it feels so natural to just hold it like a frisbee.
