The “Poor Man’s Netbook” is a laptop (it’s got a 14.2-inch screen, so I don’t understand the netbook label) built into a suitcase. It deftly robs both objects of their purposes simultaneously.
I really don’t quite understand the motivation behind this thing. You go and make a laptop bulkier and harder to transport, all while making a suitcase useless by robbing it of its cargo space. You could take the suitcase, buy a netbook, and place the netbook in the suitcase with room to space for other objects. Instead, you have a steaming pile of computing garbage that fails on execution while calling itself a netbook without understanding what a netbook is. [eBay via Shiny Shiny]

i think the point could be that you could build your desktop into a suitcase which would be a far superior machine..
24 inch lcd, i7 processor lots of hard drive space and a standard atx board.
i know there are laptops that have specs like that, but they are still ‘mobile’ specs. desktop still wins for speed and power
