Halloween is approaching and it's time to
dust off the nutcracker, but why not treat
yourself to a new laptop as well?
Enter the Nutcracker Laptop. It's a laptop
computer with reinforced hinges, and an
extra knurled strip added along both
edges, between the screen and the
keyboard,
that
will grip the nuts and break them
open when the lid is closed. Keyboard
and
screen are protected from nut debris by
sliding covers, similar to that of a roll-
top
desk.
Perfect for annnoying/amazing/amusing
commuters on the train first thing in the
morning.

Interesting... it would be an awfully big nutcracker, overkill ya think? Then again, I've seen some pretty big walnuts that I had a hard time cracking with a regular nutcracker... how do you keep the shell fragments from getting stuck between the keys? |
|

Can it come with a long handle that plugs
in? That way, you could have a USB
sledgehammer as a backup. |

"Keyboard and screen are protected

must be late..... |

Oh... I completely overlooked that, sorry! Here's the bun you ordered, fresh and hot out of the oven! + |
|

by the way, it was late when I read this... |

I like to amaze/ amuse/ annoy people by cracking walnuts two at a time in my palm. If you position the walnuts right it's easy. |

Also: make wince and protectively cover their groin. |

Bun for the reinforced hinges alone. |

For a minute I thought it was a theft prevention device (in which case how would it work again female laptop thieves?). |
|
| |
Oh, wait - you mean tree nuts. |
|
| |
After you crack the nuts there could be a gap between the screen and keyboard creating a nut roaster using the heat of the laptop. Chestnuts cracked and roasted PERIOD! |

This would be a permanent holiday fixture, believe you me. |
