The condition of having a laptop whose battery is continuously dead. Usually caused by laziness and neglecting to move the charger to the current workspace.
Dave: *Opens Laptop in Important Business Meeting* Excuse me folks, my laptop appears to be suffering from "Dead Laptop Syndrome" if you will excuse me while I go get the power cord.

Get the post punk laptop rapmug. A white person who appears to be liberal in theory but is secretly racist, homophobic, ableist,classist, etc in practice.
Someone who can quote Audre Lorde and has a “Believe Women”, “BLM” and “Abolish ICE” sticker on their laptops but will refuse to actually believe women of color when being told that they are using their white privilege to harm rather than to heal.
People who pretend to be woke by putting virtue signaling stickers on their laptops but do not actually stand for those values when it comes down to it.
Example:
White Person: *does something racist*
Person of Color: Do you have capacity to talk about why that felt racist to me?
White Person: No, also I’m not a racist.
Person of Color: Okay, when will you?
White Person: It’s my “boundary” that you stop talking.

If you believe in systemic racism why do y’all act so furious and defensive when people of color express to you personally that something you did was racist?
Like how do y’all Laptop-Sticker-White-Liberals believe all the science and numbers and history of systemic racism but the buck stops when someone expresses you’ve personally been racist it’s just suddenly unfathomable?
Racist actions can happen whether you intend for them to or not. You can’t just deny something is racist to a person of color and shut them out just because it’s too uncomfortable for your fragile white ears to hold onto. And it sure as hell isn’t a boundary to silence queer brown voices post you hurting them.

Get the Laptop-Sticker-White-Liberalmug. By default, a prison laptop has no operating system, no USB ports, and an unhelpful BIOS that auto-resets itself whenever the power is cut, making it extra difficult to flash a new BIOS over. You will also be presented with a locked password screen on boot. The laptop itself does look kind of nice, though— if you're a fan of transparent plastic shells for your electronics.

Get the prison laptopmug. Same as the Iphone effect, but with a laptop.
guy 1: "Guys, save the table while I'm going to get some food."
(while waiting, one friend takes out their laptop to fill the blank, then another, then another)
(the other comes back, sits, feels awkward because of the silence)
guy 1: "Ah, that laptop effect is killing the conversation, just stop!"
