Ask HN: Does anyone make portable PCs?

2 pointsby mike-the-mikadoalmost 2 years ago
If I always use my laptop with an external keyboard and display, why do I need to carry these around with me? They largely determine the form factor of the PC. A suitably robust box, housing CPU and storage, could be much smaller and do the job just as effectively. Does anyone sell such a device?

Portable PC have gone out of fashion. The &#x27;Notebook&#x27; design took over.<p>But we used have these: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;geekculture&#x2F;the-1983-compaq-plus-portable-when-computers-were-glorious-9ddcb8ed9329" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;geekculture&#x2F;the-1983-compaq-plus-portable...</a>

Raspberry Pi?<p>If needed, RPi-like computers come in x86 flavour too.
