|Actually, if you just want a portable that has a built in keyboard, a single
|floppy drive in the side, 1 meg of ram and a clock, all you need is an
|Amiga 500 with a briefcase.  The briefcase should also hold one of those
|8 hour batteries that they used to sell for portable (ha!) VCRs, and one
|of those 4" b/w Sony Watchmen.  Plug the monochrome video out of the 500
|into the video in of the Watchman and get power connecters for the 500 and
|the Watchman.  Open the briefcase and set the monitor verticle, and power
|everything up and you have a portable Amiga in under 15 pounds (I bet).

That's not exactly what I would like. First of all a 4" Screen is not large
enough, I would prefer to have a screen size like most other Laptops. I also
doubt, that the idea with the battery  works with a standard Amiga 500. Does
it really require only 12 V, or does it need several voltages ? And finally
I think that a standard A500 is too big. You would have to go back to the 
A1000 keyboard size to have a reasonable Laptop :-)
