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.

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.

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

I wanna be rich enough to have other people use the computer for me.
