[PD-ot] Hacking a laptop screen out

[Ed Kelly]

Ouch!

That pretty much looks like building your own graphics card adaptor board! I think I'll look at alternative options. The screen is the only bit that usually comes in a clunky, wonky and not-so-cuboid form, and doesn't fit in a backpack (my large ITX PC _just_ fits into a camping rucksack, with a keyboard and mouse).

Perhaps the netbook idea is a winner. I wanted some real-estate, but perhaps I should be looking at better ways of controlling things rather than having lots of GUI.
