I had a PortableApps setup on my USB hard drive when I was in college. With this setup, I didn't need a laptop. I can use any Windows desktop in computer labs or libraries. Super convenient. I always dislike the small screen and keyboard on laptops, so it was very helpful. And I put the USB drive in my backpack, only took out the cable when using it. So I never lose it or damage it. I ran Firefox, Notepad++, XAMPP, R and RStudio from the USB drive. At that time, Dropbox was new and there were hacks to run Dropbox on USB drives.
