For someone in my situation, though, the furthest I'd need to move my desktop would be downstairs to use the TV screen instead of its monitor.
Well, my 3-inch cube idea was mainly about transforming desktops into smaller, cleaner objects, not necessarily making them ideal for portability. I imagined it being largely stationary, though if you needed to move your work environment, the size would definitely help. Portability just happens to be a side-effect.
It'd still be a desktop, so I envisioned most people using it at their desks, or some other place where it's not often moved. A lot of people still prefer to have a dedicated space where they sit down and get to work, so that's where I'm coming from. Of course, it would make a nice media center or custom game console too.
