So I have seen a couple of "laptops" that are over two inches thick with a fold up display. Now of course these totally go against the grain of todays laptops, but so does full tower cases with fifteen hard drives, more plumbing than the sears tower, and enough light to land a small aircraft. I have been wanting to build one of these large, thick, laptop type, mini itx computers. I also have a friend that could actually benefit from one. She travels between two towns weekly and doesnt need constant portablilty, just ease of one move a week. Then the computer will stay in one place all week till she goes back, where it will also sit for one week. I have alot of mini itx stuff that I could make into a beater computer for her.
So is there any good info on the web about these things? What is the official name of this type of build? Is there any companies that make decent cases for them?
I dont see this form of build as a bad thing. I mean, if the computer was the size of a briefcase that could be carried from the car to the house and not have to sit on the couch with you, then in the bathroom, then in the doghouse then it wouldnt be that bad. And it would be easy to work on.
Thanks
