One isn't a tech enthusiast, but a tech idiot.

You're just gatekeeping.

ThinkPad with a generator? Nothing wrong with that

maybe add LoRa, get a ham license and add some packet radio or digital modes and you have a neat disaster setup.

MacBook that you don't want to scuff? Well, I'm not that precious with my gear, but you do you. Many Mac laptops last a very long time, and the performance of modern Apple silicon is really, really impressive

and you have UNIX out of the box. Plenty for a tech enthusiast to like.

Yeah, who hooks a portable generator up to their laptop without using a surge protector??
