I'd rather not need a computer at home and work (and all the syncing issues that entails).

Currently I work from two fixed locations and also from home. If I can just have a fixed screen, keyboard and mouse there and take this around with all my current working stack ready to go that'd be ace!

Hmm, why not look into laptop docks?

That's how we do it at my company. Each workstation is just a dock, screens, and mouse and keyboard. You can move around anywhere really easily.

You would not believe how many of my managers complain to us about how heavy and uncouth their laptop is to carry around. We actually had one guy apply for workplace compensation after his back caused him problems - he blamed it on carrying around a laptop + case.

I think you'd be surprised at the uptake of this kind of device in the corporate world if it was marketed correctly.

Yeah, and this is especially the case with the cheapest laptops the companies usually buy: bulky, slow, not ergonomic and noisy.
