Met up with a friend at a mall a while ago, and he was bringing a laptop to show some (programming) stuff. He brought nothing else: just his phone and cards in his pocket and a laptop in hand.
He took a bus through a very ...problematic... area. I expressed concern about having a MacBook Pro out in the open, but he said "If someone tries to f*ck with me, I got a solid 3lb aluminum slab". He was safe, but hypothetically, if he was mugged in that situation, would it have been possible to use the laptop in self-defense without actually causing significant damage to it?
Although, the best strategy would just be to carry the $2000 laptop in a concealed way to avoid attracting attention for a mugging, What would be the strategy, for a 17-20 year old man with average strength? (A dented corner would be a lot better than having it stolen).
