I Built a Commodore 64 Laptop That Never Existed (PI + EMULATION) – The Portable 64 Concept Design – YouTube

It then continues with a series of nice use cases.

Via [Wayback/Archive] Roderick Gadellaa on Twitter: “Late to the party here (was published in June last yr) but great read if you (like me) missed it”.
