    I legit used to carry my mini PC back and fourth from office to home. Brix 4770r, when loaded it sounded like a vacuum, all office guys were making fun of me. Good times.

    But legit, I’m surprised noone builds laptops from desktop components. I don’t care if it’s huge. Just give me that

      They’re building desktops with laptop components.

      Most laptop failure is physical damage to the enclosure or the board pops and the only thing that matters is getting OEM. Plus you can have a nice keyboard.

      Clevo did help other companies to OEM/ODM laptops with desktop CPU and sometimes with modular GPU module. But it’s super rare in the current laptop market.

      The power consumption and the heat might also limited the performance they can give.
