Have any laptops/mobile workstations ever used ATX motherboards?

  Even a microatx is just way too awkward a shape for a laptop really. You don’t want a square motherboard in a laptop, you want a (rough) rectangle so there’s room for a large battery cell.

  No but big ass luggable computers have used desktop PC parts back in the day, Google "Dolch lunchbox computer". If you wanted the absolute most cpu power in something like a portable workstation that would be transported from job site to job site you could probably do something with an expensive 170x170mm mini itx format board and a 140W tdp cpu.
