Ask HN: Is it feasible to move an iMac around your home daily like a laptop?

• accrual 3y ago
  One idea would be to install the iMac on an AV-type cart with a UPS underneath. Then you could cart the whole setup around without having to reboot.

  Why would you want to reboot your pc so many times?

    Isn't it a lot cheaper than a MacBook Pro?
    • runjake 3y ago
      No, it doesn't look a lot cheaper. It takes one minute to look it up. Compare a $999 M1 MacBook Air with an $1299 iMac (also M1). Compare any other config.

  You need to define your boundaries of "feasible" more clearly - some of us old farts remember it being "feasible" to drag a full-ATX tower, peripherals, and a CRT display to LAN parties! It was... not really a good idea.

  Depends on what you mean when you say feasible. Can you do it? Sure. Would you want to do it? If so, why?

  Really, get a laptop if you're thinking about this. Think about the weekend, power outages, trips...
