I don't understand why we're constantly trying to reinvent the laptop...

I'm happy for you. I just don't get it. I would absolutely not enjoy using that LOL

The author pretty clearly states why they used the form factor:

it's my take on the slab style computers that were somewhat popular before the world settled on clamshell designs for portable computers. I really wanted a TRS-80 model 100 when I was young so this sort of design was a big influence.

not everything is built for everyone, and that's cool & fun

IH I don't think it's practical, its just fun to see this kind of stuff.

Using a flat computer seems like it would be ergonomically awful. I think this build without the screen would be sick. Using a pair of X Real glasses as the screen and this as the brain. Thats the future.
