So it looks like they use ethernet and SD cards in the Animal Crossing universe too (right hand side) (the middle is probably USB but rectangles aren't very diagnostic)

And I think there's HDMI and a 3.5 mm headphone jack on the left? :P

It's odd that the logo is "PC" instead of the typical Nook leaf which is pretty reminiscent of the Apple logo.

I parsed it as AC, for Animal Crossing, the left part of the C being also the right leg of the A.

3 full size USB ports, a USB-C port (could it be Thunderbolt?), a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an SD card reader. All in all, Tom Nook’s laptop appears to have pretty decent connectivity options for a modern laptop, while still remaining relatively thin.

I initially read it as a stylized "AC" for Animal Crossing.

Weird flex, but OK.

Wild that it's "noom" and not "nyoom", tbh.

Hunh, that’s strange. Works fine on my iPhone. What are you running?

Firefox Fennec on Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android 10 Desktop Firefox works fine.

Same issue with Fennec 68.7 on a Gemini PDA running Android 8.
