Hmm...

5G gaming computer seems... ridiculous. I guess it's aim is to be portable, so check that box?

That said, the modular idea is interesting. I thought it might actually be "modular" as in the PC parts.. but it's the computer, a battery pack, and a bluetooth speaker. So, yeah, no... not interesting in the least.

You still need a monitor, so ... wtf is the point? And the bluetooth speaker stacks on the case, so why even make it bluetooth? Wouldn't most portable users use a headset anyway?
Might be of some moderate interest if you could stack multiple battery packs, maybe, and even then only remotely.

So many questions... this seems like so many solutions looking for a problem.
