Question How would you make a DIY portable PC with display (<5 KG) ?

[igor_kavinski]

Any examples from around the internet that you really liked?

How would you yourself go about it?

Which case would you choose that is not all metal to keep the weight low and which portable display?

And of course, doing all of the above in the least possible wallet shock.

And put Win 10 in Bootcamp.

Replacing the HD with SSD would cost additional $50, and you can do it yourself in 25 Mini.

Monitor size? Budget? CPU & Memory requirement?

And what defines a portable monitor? USB/USB-c connection?

A portable PC case? How big can you tolerate?

You want expansion slots /play game / or you want the PC as small as possible?

Or you can get an ASUS OLED FOLD 17 😛

Laptop is out of the question coz it's too expensive and it can't accept a desktop GPU (TB4 not allowed! That plus the TB4 GPU enclosure makes the laptop even more expensive).

This. Budget upper limit is $1200.

Maximum CPU/GPU/portability/minimum weight in the least amount of space.

Again, no laptops coz they can't be upgraded.

Thanks!

I found this from those results:

There is no display but it has everything else, including a handy dandy carry handle. Pretty slick!
