Because laptop cases are not standardized, and rarely sold separately without the motherboard/electronics/display already included. Also try to fit an 1541 disk-drive in a laptop and see how "portable" it will stay. And... Ideas are cheap (and we have plenty of those). It is the execution and implementation that matters. Also personally I would go for an Amiga based laptop instead. Either 3.5 inch floppy is doable or just boot from an CF card (technology that is already accepted on that platform as boot media)
Quotehe laptop case you could produce a custom one.
That'd make the thing way too expensive to be interesting for anyone
To be more precise: You'd have to find a vendor who is willing to produce a laptop with "our" main board. Most of the laptop designs are proprietary, so you'd have to find someone who is willing to share and/or sell his design at a really low price. Usually, laptop manufacturers don't even react to requests like that, as we can't guarantee 6-digit figures for the initial production run.
The last reply was more than 365 days ago, this thread is most likely obsolete. It is recommended to create a new thread instead.
