for an alternative, buy a used thinkpad, pull the display unit off and the
keyboard, put some duct tape over the exposed electronic stuff (stuff is a
technical term similar to bit bucket!) and carry the thing around.. :-)
there are MANY thinkpads with busted displays that the clumsy owners would
be happy to sell for such a use..
heh, heh.. :-)
i don't think i'll be investing in THAT particular company...

Cordially, :-)
