 I think the primary reason for cyberdecks nowadays is to get weird
 looks from the other people at the coffee shop. I could imagine walking
 in dressed like a futuristic Doc Brown, order a Raktajino, and sit down
 with a computer looking like it's part keytar and part hax0r node, and
 see what kind of looks you get from the influencers with their
 MacBooks.
