I just wish there was a portable all-in-one PC with modular components (since vertical parts don’t need as much testing as horizontal).
But surplus laptops are in such quantity that I’d be fine replacing my tablet with a laptop.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoYou can get mini-ITX cases that are smaller than console sized with full sized graphics cards inside... they cost like $300 bucks though :(
- Kurtz79 8y agoNot really, they are mostly around 100 bucks, some have integrated PSUs and might be >200, but 300$ seems like a lot to me. I'm using a Silverstone ML08 (about 100$ at the time), which is slightly bigger than a PS4 pro but fits a full length, double slot GPU. The ML05 is even smaller, costs about 50$ but fits only a single-slot GPU.
- WrtCdEvrydy 8y agoI might be getting one of these.
- hakfoo 8y agoThere's always beem a trickle of machines like that. The problem is that they're targeted towards industrial usage and RIOTOUSLY expensive. https://www.bsicomputer.com/products/fieldgo-m9-1760 https://www.bsicomputer.com/products/fieldgo-m9-1760 for example (the first vendor I saw that actually shows prices, as opposed to just request-for-quote) It starts at nearly $2400 for a low-spec Celeron, and I'm not sure it even has an onboard battery. What I could see as viable would be a micro-ATX case of similar dimensions, sold as a barebones for like $300-- use the extra volume from not accommodating ATX mainboards to store batteries and charging circuitry, which can be off the shelf because space constraints are minimal. Pop in some reasonably priced desktop components, and you'd have a competent luggable for under $1000.
