Actually a modular setup is what I am looking for. Having a laptop jammed into my gut when I'm flying doesn't help me if I want to work. (Y or PE) I'm looking for a modular setup so I can work in (somewhat) comfort. A mini PC (for example, a NUC or Optiplex micro or Lenovo Tiny) works (I just need enough resources to run 2-3 low end VMs). My original issue was being able to connect a monitor of sorts (like a decent IFE monitor or a portable monitor). I saw a youtube video that had some guys do a hack, however I felt their monitor setup is likely to damage the IFE system (which I would not like). With a sufficiently powered mini PC, I can shift the CPU component to the ground/side of the seat and use the KB/MS on my lap. The only problem was hanging a monitor onto the seat.

There are some portable monitors out there that might work, but the off-brands were often out of stock or not spec'ed enough or of questionable quality. One of the other posters suggested Asus (and I have the 16in version of the recommendation) which I was unaware of. If it works as advertised, I will pick one up when it goes on sale (as currently I'm grounded indefinitely) and hopefully problem solved.

Hopefully that answers your question?
