I finally switched from a laptop to a mini PC for onsite work

Been hauling a 17 inch gaming laptop to client sites for years, back started killing me. Saw a mini PC with a decent i5 for $350 and figured why not, paired it with a foldable monitor. Had a job in Akron last week, imaging 3 machines at once, and the thing handled it totally fine. Took up like a quarter of my bag and booted Windows in about 20 seconds. Anyone else made the jump to something tiny, or am I the only one who missed the memo?

Honestly I still drag a full sized laptop around. The folding monitor thing sounds clever but Ive seen too many of those panels die in a backpack. Plus if a client hands me a busted drive I want a real screen to work on, not something the size of a tablet.
