A friend of mine and I once toyed with the idea of about the reverse
of that. In other words: Take a C64 and replace its circuits with laptop
hardware, creating a proper interface for it to be used with the C64
keyboard. So effectively it would be a laptop inside a C64. Then we would
install linux in the laptop and a C64 emulator, and then make linux boot
directly to the emulator.

I once toyed with the idea of *writing* that C64 emulator...

I once owned a Commodore SX 64. It hooked to a
standard Commodore monitor easy. You probably
could fit a modern motherboard and power supply
inside the case.

And I thought the guy in the video had too much time on his hands.

The kaypro and the osborne both had similar form factors. People called them
"lugables" rather than "portables". :-)
