History

Live performance

"A Laptop Like You" is believed to have never been performed at a Jonathan Coulton concert.

Trivia

  • The attributes of the laptop described in the song make it clear that Coulton is singing about a Mac laptop. Modern Mac operating systems are based on Unix, Macs have a one-button mouse, the keyboards on some versions of Mac laptops did leave keyboard-shaped marks on the screen, etc.. The fact that the singer is willing to overlook the laptop's shortcomings is typical of enthusiastic Mac owners as well.
  • Coulton does in fact use a Mac laptop onstage when he uses his Zendrum.
