@acsawdey @cstross @foone Sounds like something the laptops could learn from.
Using an external power pack also means it's easier to yeet without losing your everything if it catches fire.
One day when I have the budget I'll build myself a kit from a workstation, portable monitor and a wheeled pelican case.

@Mizokaya I actually legitimately prefer the #PortableComputer form-factor, they're repairable, upgradable, use standard parts (laptops fail that on most accounts other than the drives and RAM these days) and maintainable.
My main case for mobility is emergencies, so having to wheel-along a pelican case knockoff is acceptable (bike trailers are great on the go, as are racks on the back).

@indigoparadox Yeah, I also had hardware die because of copycats that thought that was a nice trendy thing to do.
It's one of the many things that has reinforced my general stance on the #PortableComputer form factor vs laptops (https://mastodon.top/@lispi314/110249596438121252).
Mastodon.topLisPi (@lispi314@mastodon.top)#LaptopsWereAMistake. The #PortableComputer form-factor with #standard part #compatibility, proper CPU sockets, standard memory and standard input sockets were better.
The battery should never be tightly coupled to a given machine, it prevents #reusability (it should also be external & detached for safety reasons).
A standard 100~120/220~240v input socket means you can use any given portable battery pack.
Anything else just gives manufacturers free rein to rip-off customers.
#Hardware
Durante un tiempo, las computadoras portátiles "de valija" fueron la única manera de tener un equipo potente transportable.
No tienen batería, hay que usarlas enchufadas y el teclado hace las veces de tapa, protegiendo la pantalla.
Las primeras portátiles usaban pantallas CRT de 5", y en las ultimas generaciones eran ya de plasma monocromático.
¡Trabajar con esas máquinas debe haber sido una pesadilla! En mi colección tengo una Bondwell Pro8T.
