And that's where I see this as a solution to no known problem.
The idea of a laptop is portability and usability - set it on your lap, a small table, or on a crowded table. It doesn't take up much space to carry or to use.

Many screens as possible for multitabling games so this would be spot on for when they were away. None of the guys on my table were willing to put that much down but the serious bods will be interested. Same as Dave says though. Gotta be playing seriously at that cost.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

There is a big market for portable computers which you don't use on the go actually. Laptops are not only about being able to work on the move, they're about being able to transport your entire system easily. Like to your desk at work or a mate's house where you then set it up on a table like a PC. A 10Kb 21" laptop monster can be carried in a backpack, you can't get your desktop, monitor, keyboard, etc into a convenient portable setup (easily).
