Cyberdeck
top definition
alternative slang for what most would commonly refer to as a laptop or notebook and/or netbook computer. but could also extend to an ipad as well. it is derived from the sprawl trilogy (-this includes the short stories johnny mnemonic, new rose hotel, burning chrome) of sci-fi cyberpunk novels by william gibson (neuromancer, count zero, mona lisa overdrive). —basically, die hard fans and wishful thinkers who are bored/disappointed with modern tech as it exists now (such as a smart phone) for being too practical and lacking imagination, and have labeled things in the manner of the alternate 1980s of gibson’s cyberpunk world line; and in a sense, sticking to more c-mbersome (and often times outdated) tech in contrast to what is accepted by the collective majority. thus some might flip open a laptop/note book and log onto the internet… others will power up their cyberdeck and jack into cybersp-ce.

{everyone stares at case as he does this}
together: “why?”
case: “it’s just how i roll.”
