And here's what it looks like with lights on. You can also see @mlemweb's dollhouse making activities left on the desk.
The portable monitor and stand, the keyboard, and the MNT Pocket Reform all fit nicely in the front pocket of my backpack allowing for a full ergonomic dual screen setup which I can pull out anywhere. The pocket's trackball itself acts as an easy to access mouse.
Additionally, with this setup, if *not* going full workstation, I can just use the Pocket by itself!

I took these pictures in a hurry, I plan on taking better looking ones later before I write a blogpost if I can, but I took these in a hurry last night and kinda wanted to post them

@josch INGNOK YN02D 15.6" FHD Portable Monitor with Adjustable Stand https://www.ingnok.ca/products/ingnok-yn02d-15-6-fhd-portable-monitor-with-adjustable-stand
It's shockingly inexpensive, light, and both the monitor and stand fold up in my backpack very easily! I would really recommend it!

@cwebber I'm not jealous. Nope. No way.

That looks absolutely sweet!
May I ask, the Pocket Reform - in terms of performance for general stuff (browsing, word processing) would you compare it as "doable" or more akin to "zippy"?
I am potentially in the market for a new treat for myself and I have been eyeing them for a bit. I would not be using it for heavy gaming/rendering etc. but light weight stuff (maybe some coding etc.)
Appreciate any information you're willing to share (or point me towards)

@Aprazeth With the RK3588 board, especially if you get the 32gb of ram version, the Pocket is really nice for pretty much everthing except certain newer opengl/vulkan-using things (blender)!

That actually sounds really positive. Thank you for the information, much appreciated!

@Aprazeth If you get a new one, you'll also be having the advantage that several lessons have been learned and are in a better state off the bat. The newer backplate fixed heating issues, and the rk3588 is a much better board than the original one

@Aprazeth of course the nice thing about the Pocket is that those with the older ones were still able to upgrade to the newer fixes incrementally :)

@cwebber ooh that's a good idea. I have most of these, so I'm tempted to try it. What kind of monitor stand are you using?

@cwebber Fits in the front pouch of what backpack? (Why I ask: Lately I'm becoming a backpack nerd.)
