Yes it will. But keep in mind that external devices like the extended
keyboard are not c-mos based, and draw a noticeable amount of power from
the portable's battery. So the best thing would be to keep the Portable
plugged into a power supply at home.

The Portable comes with a carrying case, a low-power mouse and an
external power supply/battery charger. Everything fits into the carrying
case, and there's still room left for an external monitor adapter, your
disks and a few documents.
