How many laptops does one man need?

Has he not heard of multiple browsers?? Why does he need like...8 laptops or however many it was to talk to all those different girls in the chat room?

I know it's visually pleasing on screen to see all the laptops spread out all over the table but...in reality...WHY?

Because Sherlock is too lazy to deal with multiple window!

I have no idea. First I thought it was just a symbol for the open tabs but then he snapped back into reality and there they stood.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

And now he hasn't even got John's laptop when he wants to look at naked women.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

so do you think he has like 20 laptops in his flat?

Or does he just call Mycroft and says, 'Mike! Fetch me 20 latopts so I can investigate, quick!'

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Yeah that was rather implausible. But that's the joy of creating a television show I guess. Not everything has to be 100% realistic.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Sherlock lives alone now. John is not there to fetch things anymore. Sherlock needs several laptops in every room because he's so lazy.

He’s got a dog. We go to the pub on weekends. I’ve met his mum and dad …

… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Because he's Sherlock.

I think that's all the information one needs XD

Oh, sheesh!  It's only after reading this comment that I now realize that Sherlock wasn't actually physically in the same room with all those women when talking to them!    I did kind of wonder why he was having a chat session with them later on...

really?? lool! did you think he actually went into a courtroom with a bunch of random women, with Mycroft appearing mysteriously behind him?

lol

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Well...kinda, yeah... 

I thought he'd done his due diligence and found all these other women who could have something to do with the situation, but he needed to see them in person to "read" them and disqualify them.  So he talked to the remaining women face-to-face and then chatted with them later on as a follow-up.  Talking to Mycroft--no, I did think that was in his head.  But the whole scenario seemed a little weird...!

I see. I thought that scene was so beautifully done. The Benedict was hyptonising me with his chant of 'Not you, not you, not you, not you...."

It was beautifully done indeed, but it also took me a moment to orientate myself.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

I think the part that gives away that it's a chat is that Sherlock "pauses" a woman mid-talk.

Mike!! LOL. I think Sherlock would only call him Mike if he were really angry.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Just a new way of visualizing his mind palace. 

Slightly off tangent I read an old article by Gatiss where he was saying he consulted Derren Brown when he came up with the idea of using mind palaces.

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

This confused me as well.
Also in the Empty Hearse, they watch the video of the security footage on a samsung laptop and then video chat with that train guy with a Mac...

Re: How many laptops does one man need?

Maybe he wanted different IP addresses for each chat session. That would be hard to do with just one laptop without serious hacker skills, but with separate laptops you can install IP masking software on each of them and pick a different IP for every one.
