Cool. Does this have a battery for using this away from the plug? Where is your keyboard? Is it posible to make a spring loaded keyboard that will pop up then flip open when in use? Sorry this the first time I've seen someone do this. I was thinking about building one for computer games with duel touch screens. Perfect for air hockey programs.

That's flippin' awesome.
If I had the time and know-how, I have a hard-case briefcase in mind that I'd totally use as a base for a similar "laptop" deal.
This thing work out alright for you?
