Hi folks,
Any seamans on the forum?
Let me say hallo and tell my story.
I've started my professional life at sea 20 years back, but always been tech and PC gaming enthusiast. Remember, when after my first 6 months trip as a deck cadet spent most of my earned money on the laptop. It was plenty money but it was really awsom to join next ship with own PC in the bag. It was just the begining of notobeooks popularity and after few next year's there was literally no seamen joining ship without his own 7+ kg laptop. Since those days most of us working at sea replaced heavy laptops with ultrabooks, lablets or just a smartphones , as it meets most of the needs. Unlike the most of my friend's, my next laptops was only bigger and more expecive. As a high quality gaming enthusiast I was forced to replace my "gaming" laptop every few seasons, loosing money and never being fully satisfied with the performance. The idea of heaving compact size pc which can fit my backpack and travell whole the world on multiple flights to join a vessel came to my mind, but for many years it was only my dream. Last year, before orginal Cyberpunk 2077 premiere the time for laptop replacement has come again. Few weeks of gaming laptop rescherch pissed me off. To play descent quality I had to pay a fortune for a laptop and the experience still wouldn't be as I expected. Luckily I found you guys and started to dig SFF subject.
Wow. That's pretty long welcome. Making the story bit shorter. My dreams comes true and now I'm an owner of a console size case SENTRY with Gtx1080ti. It was really something I was dreaming about for years, as it looks as it was designed specially to meet my needs. (thank you Dr.Zaber - you are the best)
I've already joned the ship with my computer for a second time and can share some experience with traveling with such equipment all over the world. I know there must be a quite large number of people who have similar requirements but never heard about SFF like Sentry and still buying those crazy, full of shit laptops.
Let them know, SFF is what each seaman like me needs.
