Reply to comment by [deleted] in A custom 100-pound laptop with a 43-inch screen by thebelsnickle1991

It's basically a portable desktop

I'd have one, it fits in a car, protects the screen, and gives me my full environment anywhere

I can see the humor in it, but ain't no way I'm calling something that weighs 100lb portable or a laptop.

It's a very minor edge-case, but it's certainly preferable to lugging my 60lb desktop + 40lb monitor, along with all the accessories, only to find out they don't have anywhere for me to setup when I get there

What kind of monitor do you have that weighs 40lb?

47" fluorescent back-lit LCD

Yep, that'd certainly do it

I have laptops, but trying to showcase a design concept to a client on a 16" screen is damn near impossible
