One of the pro-audio companies - Sweetwater.com - sells audio-centric

A friend of mine bought one of their systems a couple of years ago. I
was able to boot Pure:Dyne on it and at least MIDI worked; didn't try
any audio recording.

Different form factor. BTW. I had a lunchbox and it was much better to tote

My first clamshell was a Kaypro 2000.

no hd, one 720k floppy iirc.
Hi,
What do you think about a portable Lunchbox Computer for mobile
recording? Take a look here:
http://www.acmeportable.de/comrade-480-de.html. On this you can install
any Linux audio distribution and install any soundcard you want.
That looks eerily familiar to me:

it be nice if someone (TM) built a open source-driven
portable computer ready for audio with possibly decently priced?
I say 'portable computer' and not 'laptop' because I imagine something
maybe a bit bigger than a laptop but smaller than a desktop (like a
'fatter' i.e. higher laptop), a kind of hybrid, enabling for e.g. to
fit in at least a pci card and maybe a 5 inch hard disk (maybe even
solid state?)
Similar in a way to the indamixx but more focused on hardware....
I am not at all an hardware expert but my guess is that someone with
the right know-how (even a team) could whip up a pretty interesting
machine?
But maybe this is pure fiction :)
its not pure fiction. there have been at least a half-dozen companies
in the english-speaking world alone that have tried to sell
audio-centric computers. its a niche market, and in general they don't
last very long. here's one that died and has been resurrected, for
example:
http://www.carillonac1.com/
or another
http://raincomputers.com/
there's not a lot of money to be made in this market, let alone the
tiny corner of it that would run linux on it. imagining that there is
a notable market for a custom built unit using non-off-the-shelf cases
or components ... now we're talking fiction.
