Laptop lite
I’ve never understood why nobody sold a laptop without a screen or a battery, especially in days gone by when even simple laptops cost a couple of thousand pounds. The battery and screen were two of the most expensive items on a laptop, and if you asked most people they only ever used their machine at either work or at home – and then they plugged them into the mains and attached them to a desktop monitor.
With that in mind, manufacturers could have put the mains adapter in the battery space, which could have reduced the price by around £1,000. Even now I think the idea applies: few people seem to use a laptop without being in easy reach of a mains socket, and with screen casting technology now available
