I probably linked to the Picommodore C64 laptop project that someone did a while ago, it is a cool idea. I actually got myself a couple of the C64 all-in-one joysticks used in the project while I was in Europe. Ben Heck, custom-console-maker-extraordinaire has made a C64 laptop of such awesomeness that it kinda puts the rest to shame.

That is tidy. A SD card floppy emulator, original keyboard with Fn keys chopped off, and replacements by the fake trackpad (actually a LCD for the SD-floppy bridge), all the real hardware: SID chip, cartridge slot... Go look at the full writeup from Ben himself. A legendary hack.
