Having a small PC separate from a keyboard isn't much work to carry

you can put both in a single carrying case. And it gives you a lot more flexibility than combining the two in terms of space and heat and such.

The laptop

display+keyboard/trackpad+guts

makes sense because you can use it at places that aren't a desk. But if you're going to require use of a desk anyway, why forego the benefits of a separate PC and keyboard?

I'd say because many laptops have just fine keyboards and carrying a laptop and maybe + mouse is more convenient than arbitrary box + keyboard + mouse + monitor if there isn't already one...

This product is trash from the concept up.
