Customized computer?

I have seen stupider things, but can't immediately name any.

What? This is exactly what's needed to make laptops beefy enough to use as a primary gaming PC. I can work and travel with a laptop, then when I get home I can just plug this guy in and play games properly. No need to own multiple sets of computers just so I can travel with one and game with the other.

It fixed the other problem with laptops in that they're not very upgradable.

You plug this in, plug a real keyboard in, plug a gaming mouse in, plug some external storage in because the laptop SSD probably doesn't have them all, plug a bigger screen in, plug some sound system in... Between all that plugging in, you'd already be playing with your desktop PC. Not to mention the laptop CPU still won't be as good as a desktop CPU, likely the laptop memory neither.

I suppose for somebody who travels a lot and only occasionally wants to play heavier games this might work, assuming he wants to haul around one of those gaming laptops. It's a vast oversimplification to say the only good thing about a desktop PC would be the video card.
