"Your laptop is now a hologram" refers to the fact[1] that you won't need a physical machine (aside from the Intel i5 cpu in your pocket). The keyboard is virtual, and the monitor is virtual. Everything else is physical but it's tiny.

Then leave the laptop out of it. Seems pointless retaining the laptop form factor for this, even to demonstrate the concept to an audience.
Agreed, it looks ridiculous having the full enclosure of the laptop (or phone) rendered and floating in front of you when you could just have the screen and keys separate from each other and independently movable.
A virtual laptop is unconstrained by weight requirements, need to stow easily on an aircraft, etc but no way should the display top 15"!
