How big/heavy is the Xserve? I have an idea...

I was going to put this in the future hardware board, but it's too farfetched.



What if Apple added a large hinged LCD display and keyboard to the Xserve, making it an ÜberBook? Sure, it'd weigh a lot, and it'd be big and expensive, but it'd also be the most powerful laptop out there! Cooling would probably be okay since the Xserve is designed to operate with very little airspace around it. Imagine, half a terabyte of storage, 2 GB of DDR RAM, dual GHz processors, all in a luggable package that may be comparable to the Mac Portable.



It all depends on how big and heavy the Xserve is...

    The Xserve weighs more than my bicycle.

    I have a light bike, but still.



    then again, it's probably preferable to lugging around a minitower.

    For the love of Apple... NO! <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />



    I'll take it you've never seen a server rack in person. They're big (19" wide and 29" deep), heavy, LOUD as ****, and consume LOTS of power.



    überBook? Yeah right! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />
