Bringing a portable, complete computer to Starbucks is an interesting choice - what's the most unusual PC configuration you've noticed someone using in public spaces?
=====================================================================
In the bustling world of coffee shops, where laptops and tablets are the norm, an unusual sight has been making waves. Some patrons have been spotted using all-in-one (AIO) desktop PCs, a rare choice that raises questions about portability and comfort.
Recently, a person was observed using a full AIO PC at Starbucks, occupying one of the smallest tables available. This unusual setup, while questionable in terms of portability, might be the only computer for the user, but the reason for carrying it to a coffee shop remains unclear.
One might expect to see elaborate custom PC cases or gaming battlestations in such settings, but these are typically confined to private or dedicated spaces. Gaming rigs, such as those inspired by ASUS ROG, can be extremely advanced and bulky, but there is no mention of these being used in public cafes.
The AIO PC in question is not an iMac, which might have been more likely to be perceived as a flex. However, the sheer size of the PC's screen could potentially cause discomfort for some due to its size.
Transporting such a large PC raises questions. It is unclear if the person uses a special bag or simply carries the whole unit under one arm. Some Reddit users have shared examples of even more outrageous PC setups, including one involving a cart full of PC gear.
