This reminds me of the "luggable" Commodore 64 a friend had when I was in high school. I remember seeing him play red baron on it.

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting.

i always like the idea of a contemporary "portable desktop" that's not just a giant laptop and OPs device goes into that direction, formfactorwise.

How would you describe this portable desktop? It seems interesting.

basically like one of those 80s "laptops" that came as a box with a flip-out display and a keyboard attached. of course more modern: bigger, better screens for working on a graphical interface, wireless peripherals, maybe flatter, like a pizzabox. the ups to a traditional laptop would be better cooling and room fur upgrades. many people have laptops and they sit on a desk forever, maybe moved once a month.
