« on: August 30, 2014, 12:51:50 pm »
Building a giant rugged laptop. Specs: Celeron D cpu, 2GB ram, Dual boot WinXP Xubuntu on 200GB hdd
Most importantly: full keyboard.

I intend to use this thing outdoors.

Yep I was going for an old-school look. I think the keyboard looks great on it. The yellowed spacebar matches the color of the suitcase and the screen just fits perfectly. I know that LCD's weren't around yet, but I think I could not fit a crt in it.

Nice.
Does it have a battery? If so, how long does it last?

Nope. It has a PC power supply in it. I might be able to make some kind of custom supply so it can work on batteries, but I don't think it'd be worth it. The battery would not last very long because the screen, motherboard and harddisk are not low-power laptop parts.
