For years I had a borrowed laptop next to the settee. It was a Dell Latitude - very light - only 1.2 kg. It was really useful for casual web-browsing and looking up things when doing the crossword - without going into the study to use the desktop machine.
The laptop has now gone back to the friend it was borrowed from and I'm wondering about various options.
I could buy a laptop - but I have a couple of old desktops - and wondered about using one of them - set up in such a way as to be as convenient as the laptop was.
How about a small 15" TFT monitor on a swinging arm that could be at the side of the settee and swing in front when needed?
The computer case could be hidden away behind the settee.
Is there a wireless keyboard that contains a glide pad or trackball?
Any design ideas will be welcomed and appreciated.
