A few years ago, there was a dude who would regularly set up his mid tower gaming pc + 27" monitor at the Starbucks down the street from my old office. He kept buying food and drinks while he was there, they never cared.
I had an aunt here in S. Carolina whom in the 70's - mid 00's worked as a court stenographer, she had a custom lunchbox PC (desktop PC on wheels) in the late 90's, and lugged around an early IBM LCD monitor as laptops at the time were not powerful enough for her workflow, and she would sometimes work from a local coffee shop that had early WiFi, & they did not care much as she was buying food, and coffee from them while working.
I have a friend who does that because no ISP will send internet more advanced than dial-up to his house, so he goes there with his PC to do updates and shit
I think you can make it work with a small form factor case and keeping a screen/keyboard in each house. Just carry the case and mouse. That's likely the cheapest option. For the price of this case you can easily get a couple decent screens (much better than this) and extra peripherals.
Can we get more sponsor spots like that, that aren't just pitching sales points!? Those funny ads are way more engaging and I mean, half of the top comments are mentioning it haha.
Imagine sitting at a Starbucks in Surrey and seeing Linus show up with this monstrosity. Also, LMG was so nice to include a guy who they fired many years ago in their ads.
Honestly, when I was working in 3D scanning in a shipyard, with the frustration of a laptop, this would have come in handy. We were already moving a lot of cumbersome equipment for 3D scanning anyway and the extra power would have come in handy. There are a couple of key things missing though. Physical touchpad buttons or a clit mouse were a massive advantage for CAD work and 3D manipulation as we had to do in the 3D scanning software.
I thought this was going to be a video about taking various laptops into starbucks & escalating it to the point where people find it socially unacceptable.
I would have liked actually trying to be competitive to a laptop in terms of price and performance. you could tweak voltages to help with battery consumption. I know it would never beat a laptop in every category at the same price point, but if I can upgrade it easier and sell components i would be spending less money for my upgrade while also generating less e-waste
Clevo has that space pretty well covered. They do up custom laptops and the high-spec ones often include desktop components. I hope we get a modular standard for mobile GPUs soon, that'd be great.
How would you compare them to be competitive? The Alibaba listing they showed was 1.250US$. It just doesn't make sense to compare it to anything really. The closet thing would be some super high-end laptop... With two added 60hz FHD monitors?
About 25 years ago I flew from Germany to Netherlands and a couple days later to Norway with a big ass pc to go to a LAN. Fun times, no problem at the airports.

yeah, give it the LMG makeover. see how absolutely unhinged it can go. three monitors, why not more? it needs more cooling. upgrade the keyboard. then for fun add in as much RGB as you can.

Best advertisment I have seen in a long time. Unironically I would want that case if they would fix some minor stuff. I want a mobile PC without problems of laptops. I would not use the keyboard and touchpad anyway.
Then why not just use a normal desktop case, screw a handle in the top and find a briefcase that your monitor fits in? Better ergonomics and cheaper than anything like this.
This is a very specific use case but I imagine this could actually be pretty useful for bands in a live setting. Rugged case, ample cooling (which laptops on stages could struggle with), and could probably record while simulating amps for multiple instruments. You'd need a solid interface and speakers but considering you can model amps almost as well as $1000+ amps, innumerable pedals and record a live session at the same time could have a crap ton of benefits
I have no idea what market that thing is aimed at. You can get laptops with workstation type HW that can at least approach that build in performance and be far more portable. There are also true rugged laptops that can take essentially any abuse imaginable designed for first responders and science expeditions that don't have top tier HW but if all you need is to record data or connect to remote databases are more than adequate.
It's for people who hate laptops because they're not upgradable, but also need portability. As a university student I started building one, but got too busy (continued using an ivy lake laptop with a 660m - even though I owned a 970 at the time (with beast egpu)). Too bad about the issues with this case. Still haven't bought a laptop, but my bosses now basically buy me one for work every few years.
@@RichardArpin Except it is not portable or really upgradeable. The screens suck and are locked into a very old spec. the keyboard sucks, the trackpad is even worse than the keyboard. The build space is tiny and not thought out. You'd be stuck, at best, putting in a kluged together SFF that you'd never want to touch again and you'd certainly never get the performance you'd have gotten from spending the kind of money you'd have gotten from spending the same on a laptop. Don't blow smoke.
@@KenS1267 I had a dell ultra wide 29", and behind that I got to fitting an itx mobo, sff PSU, and a dual fan 970. It was about 320mm thick, and on the front side was a bit larger than the monitor. It wouldn't have been light, probably about 16 lbs total, but that's portable to me - I'm not a toothpick. I work as a construction supervisor and regularly carry survey equipment weighing twice that, or 100 lbs of nails/screws, or formwork; a briefcase PC is extremely portable for someone like me that doesn't want to pay 2x for half the performance, and then eat all the depreciation of my laptop because no one wants old laptops for anything close to their retail. Got the 34" Asus ProArt Ultra wide now (decided for flat for viewing architectural drawings), and am considering doing the build for fun and selling my work laptop - now that I'm not burdened by stupid make work assignments.
Many years ago I used to carry my “laptop”… what I called a luggable. It had a 12” screen, 2 floppies, a 20MB HD and the keyboard locked in place covering the screen during transit. It was only 26lbs since it had no additional screens and we referred to it as the lunchbox. Oh, and you had to plug it in to power once you got on site, but at least it was portable. Toshiba built the first one I know of with built in screen… it was some sort of electro-luminescent screen in orange or green. I had an Osborne travel unit with a 5” display (crt) inside the body, which was like 26” deep.
I have actually seen one of these (or maybe something very similar) Deployed at a work place. its actually super useful for the head unit/control center for heavy duty machinery that it helps to have several monitors for at once.
Is starbucks really the best place to test laptop gaming? Next time we need to see how comfortable it is to game on a machine like this on a trans-oceanic flight.
It doesn't have a battery, and you are not going to get mains power on a plane. Also, a 100Wh battery, the largest you can legally carry on a plane, would last about 20 minutes on this build.
For power on planes, look for a PSU that accepts 800Hz AC power in addition to the traditional 50/60 Hz . A more realistic use would be on a special technical flight such as detail mapping the North-West passage with airborne radar . Such a flight would have a bracket for securing your high end luggable with its installed data acquisition cards and atomic clock . The nVidia card would run special CUDA software decoding radar signals or be upgraded to something physically smaller to make room for the specialist cards .
That was the best sponsor clip I have ever seen. Also, when you are sitting and not standing this is becoming much better to look at the screens so complaining about lack of ergonomy while standing simultaneously is not 100% justified.
Oh COME ON LINUS! In my day we lugged around The Compaq Portable in a smoke filled airport. The weight of the computer would cause paralysis to your legs, then the cigarette smoke would overcome you & would would miss your Flight! & we LIKED it that way!
It's really competing with those pro grade ones for like live events, on site editing. It obviously has the room for a top tier build, but people that use those types for work, will not put up with the ergonomics. Fairly easy solutions would be to have the keyboard detachable (and much better), and add a tilting stand to the case.
As someone that used to carry a full desktop setup on the road, something like this makes some sense...but the implementation makes it fail where a laptop that costs the same as the case alone will do a better job. Working where I'd be set up in a hotel room for 2 to 4 weeks at a time, then move to another hotel, for half the year, I had a Coolermaster CM Scout case that worked great, and a suitcase that a 22" monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc would fit in. Eventually replaced with a laptop that did just as well. The thing is, there is zero point in lugging the bulk if the monitors suck and the cooling sucks. a $1500 laptop will work great, and for the cost of the other components you can get really good portable monitors.
still 1/2 the size of the LAN PC I used to lug around with built in displays , still amazed it worked with jack an exterior damage after it went for a fall down 2 flights of cement steps
I completely understand why this is almost $1500, it's a one-off custom specialized thing that people would really only buy if they really needed it. I can totally see this being used for portable flight sims and/or portable/field 3D modeling workloads (like SOLIDWORKS simulation and such). It's probably also why it's 1080p only, since it's not really targeted for gaming and 1080p is plenty for most CAD and simulation workloads. Same reason a 100Mbit, 8 port industrial ethernet switch is $200, it's specialized and if you need it you're gonna pay full price since it's probably a business buying it.
Even then, a business will probably just go and buy several of those overkill Asus gaming laptops with detachable fans and full-sized GPUs in them. That is MUCH more practical and can do all of the simulation and CAD work you could ever need onsite since those can have comparable specs to a full tower PC. Especially if its going to be a big operation out in the field, that means the possibility of portable generators, which means AC power access so the laptop runs at its fullest speed when plugged in. However, it is of course never a substitute for a full desktop PC so perhaps in very specific use cases, this may work better. In my opinion, I'd be willing to bet most people put up with a few of the shortcomings of a laptop (raw CPU/GPU power) so it makes their workflow less bulky and cumbersome. I'd rather wait the extra hour it would take to calculate a simulation on a "slower" laptop then lug around that giant piece of junk. I'm going to be working all day so it wouldn't make much difference. Unless you're on a time crunch, in which case then you don't want to waste time. Time is money so maybe someone would have a use for this "portable" case.
I think the extra air holes on the side panel are a bad idea. Those are going to be acting as exhaust, and they're right next to the intake, which means some of your intake is going to be exhausted right back out before it can cool down the system. If you need additional exhaust, consider making some holes on the sides of the case instead, further away from the intake. There's room on the PSU side for additional ventilation holes and you might even be able to sneak a small exhaust fan in behind the GPU. Next to the PCIe brackets there's also some room for ventilation holes.
Aside from extreme power, I'd say a big part of the appeal of this is PCI-E slots. All sorts of specialized PCI-E devices out there you might need and which, if they even work in an external enclosure, would just add one more thing to get knocked off a table somewhere.
I have actually always wanted this. I don't want the compromise of performance of a laptop nor the lack of an upgrade path. Which framework pretty much answered the upgrade path issue, but its a tailored upgrade path rather than full modularity. I need a setup that can travel. Not a laptop that can pc Or a pc that can laptop It has to be the full setup bar the desk. It can chill in the car and travel around with me so i can set up whenever. So this is a step in the right direction, for sure!
I built a PC to work at studio in my uni. I packed everything in Jonsbo T8. Ryzen 3700X with Noctua NH-L9 and Radeon 6600 (I built it 3 years ago). It was overall good PC. I could put it in my backpack. Of course you would need external monitor, protable probably, mouse and keyboard. But it was pretty good PC and for most cases you don't need stupidly powerfull components.
I can think of one potential use case for this PC chassis. I've worked in live stream productions for the past four years, and we've used the Livestream HD550 streaming PC on location for quite some time. The power supplies are jet engines, and the integrated side monitor is nothing special, but we always end up bringing two additional monitors with the PC. I would instantly be annoyed by the keyboard and trackpad, but integrating the two extra monitors would definitely cut down on some of the gear we would have to bring on site. Could it be done better? Definitely. Is it for everyone? No. Is it for us? Probably not. But there's a case for a case like this.

@@katrinabryce Many flights now provide outlets to passengers.
@@Hathos9 USB sockets, yes. I've never seen ac sockets though.
@@katrinabryce I've had them on my last few flights. Economy.
For power on planes, look for a PSU that accepts 800Hz AC power in addition to the traditional 50/60 Hz .
A more realistic use would be on a special technical flight such as detail mapping the North-West passage with airborne radar . Such a flight would have a bracket for securing your high end luggable with its installed data acquisition cards and atomic clock . The nVidia card would run special CUDA software decoding radar signals or be upgraded to something physically smaller to make room for the specialist cards .
I loved the sponsor spot. Actually worth watching.
We love to hear it!
colton the goat of ads
Masterminded by Dennis most likely 👌🏾💪🏾
Absolutely the best sponser message ever
That Ridge spot with Colton was hilarious.
OMFG, that sponsor spot for Father’s Day. Dear Lord, why would you inflict out on my eyes?
It's not a laptop. It's a portable desktop.
That was the best sponsor clip I have ever seen.
Also, when you are sitting and not standing this is becoming much better to look at the screens so complaining about lack of ergonomy while standing simultaneously is not 100% justified.
that laptop is the lightest gaming laptop i have ever seen
That starting sponsor spot was the best y'all ever done.
We're so done with the reads
edit: the ending one too! fun!
Right on! 👍
Do you guys remember Ivan
No, there was never an Ivan. You are imagining things.
Oh COME ON LINUS!
In my day we lugged around The Compaq Portable in a smoke filled airport. The weight of the computer would cause paralysis to your legs, then the cigarette smoke would overcome you & would would miss your Flight!
& we LIKED it that way!
I think the conclusion is pretty spot on. This probably isn't a very good option for most people, but it's probably a perfect option for some people.
It's really competing with those pro grade ones for like live events, on site editing. It obviously has the room for a top tier build, but people that use those types for work, will not put up with the ergonomics.
Fairly easy solutions would be to have the keyboard detachable (and much better), and add a tilting stand to the case.
As someone that used to carry a full desktop setup on the road, something like this makes some sense...but the implementation makes it fail where a laptop that costs the same as the case alone will do a better job. Working where I'd be set up in a hotel room for 2 to 4 weeks at a time, then move to another hotel, for half the year, I had a Coolermaster CM Scout case that worked great, and a suitcase that a 22" monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc would fit in. Eventually replaced with a laptop that did just as well. The thing is, there is zero point in lugging the bulk if the monitors suck and the cooling sucks. a $1500 laptop will work great, and for the cost of the other components you can get really good portable monitors.
16 year old me would have lived this thing
Loved that opening sponsor spot!!!
Why are they celebrating fathers day when I dont think it is fathers day? When is fathers day in Canada?
16 June, so yeah no idea
still 1/2 the size of the LAN PC I used to lug around with built in displays , still amazed it worked with jack an exterior damage after it went for a fall down 2 flights of cement steps
I call this build "the all inclusive build" for its variety in colors
I completely understand why this is almost $1500, it's a one-off custom specialized thing that people would really only buy if they really needed it. I can totally see this being used for portable flight sims and/or portable/field 3D modeling workloads (like SOLIDWORKS simulation and such). It's probably also why it's 1080p only, since it's not really targeted for gaming and 1080p is plenty for most CAD and simulation workloads. Same reason a 100Mbit, 8 port industrial ethernet switch is $200, it's specialized and if you need it you're gonna pay full price since it's probably a business buying it.
Even then, a business will probably just go and buy several of those overkill Asus gaming laptops with detachable fans and full-sized GPUs in them. That is MUCH more practical and can do all of the simulation and CAD work you could ever need onsite since those can have comparable specs to a full tower PC. Especially if its going to be a big operation out in the field, that means the possibility of portable generators, which means AC power access so the laptop runs at its fullest speed when plugged in. However, it is of course never a substitute for a full desktop PC so perhaps in very specific use cases, this may work better. In my opinion, I'd be willing to bet most people put up with a few of the shortcomings of a laptop (raw CPU/GPU power) so it makes their workflow less bulky and cumbersome.
I'd rather wait the extra hour it would take to calculate a simulation on a "slower" laptop then lug around that giant piece of junk. I'm going to be working all day so it wouldn't make much difference. Unless you're on a time crunch, in which case then you don't want to waste time.
Time is money so maybe someone would have a use for this "portable" case.
3:13 EDP ayoo
i adore this sort of shenanigans > this is impractical
Every LTT Video
Step 1: Waste Money
Step 2: Tax Write Off
Step 3: Profit
10/10 on the ridge wallet advertisement change.
An amazing laptop and an amazing video 😍😍 editor did such a good job 👏 👏
Honestly, for an in-person LAN party, with the right medium build you could totally use this
I know it’s like always practical, but make every sponsor spot this amazing!
This is the “only a spoonful” laptop
And also both of those sponsor segments from Ridge, perfect
I like when they go crazy on their builds, but would also like to see a reasonable build in the case as well
I think the extra air holes on the side panel are a bad idea. Those are going to be acting as exhaust, and they're right next to the intake, which means some of your intake is going to be exhausted right back out before it can cool down the system. If you need additional exhaust, consider making some holes on the sides of the case instead, further away from the intake. There's room on the PSU side for additional ventilation holes and you might even be able to sneak a small exhaust fan in behind the GPU. Next to the PCIe brackets there's also some room for ventilation holes.
That sponsor segment tho 😂😂 shoutout coltan for doing that lol
Aside from extreme power, I'd say a big part of the appeal of this is PCI-E slots. All sorts of specialized PCI-E devices out there you might need and which, if they even work in an external enclosure, would just add one more thing to get knocked off a table somewhere.
I have actually always wanted this.
I don't want the compromise of performance of a laptop nor the lack of an upgrade path.
Which framework pretty much answered the upgrade path issue, but its a tailored upgrade path rather than full modularity.
I need a setup that can travel.
Not a laptop that can pc
Or a pc that can laptop
It has to be the full setup bar the desk. It can chill in the car and travel around with me so i can set up whenever.
So this is a step in the right direction, for sure!
Something about the color grading this whole video is different and i love it.
That sponsor was pure gold
We're glad you think so 😎
Please make more sponsorships like this, id actually watch them
so this was the PC Briefcase I was dreaming of
I built a PC to work at studio in my uni. I packed everything in Jonsbo T8. Ryzen 3700X with Noctua NH-L9 and Radeon 6600 (I built it 3 years ago).
It was overall good PC. I could put it in my backpack. Of course you would need external monitor, protable probably, mouse and keyboard. But it was pretty good PC and for most cases you don't need stupidly powerfull components.
OK so now you need to make your version of this
You should do this but make the perfect version where you design and build the case yourself, use the screens you want, etc.
I hope you can turn off the party mode on the screens when no signal is detected xD
That Ridge wallet add was 🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣
Super cool, huh? 😎
New roof is on the house is one of my favorite jokes now. That and little plain biscuits!
I can think of one potential use case for this PC chassis. I've worked in live stream productions for the past four years, and we've used the Livestream HD550 streaming PC on location for quite some time. The power supplies are jet engines, and the integrated side monitor is nothing special, but we always end up bringing two additional monitors with the PC. I would instantly be annoyed by the keyboard and trackpad, but integrating the two extra monitors would definitely cut down on some of the gear we would have to bring on site.
Could it be done better? Definitely. Is it for everyone? No. Is it for us? Probably not. But there's a case for a case like this.
