Is this portable? Can you collapse it and take it in a backpack, along with the laptop?

It definitely is collapsible. In fact it comes in a flat box when you purchase it and can be disassembled into three pieces that you can pack in a backpack.

The bar that connects the two horseshoe shaped pieces is easily disconnected from the horseshoe shaped pieces. However, you are still left with two horseshoe shaped pieces that are roughly 5 inches X 10 inches and one bar that is roughly 6 inches long.

Yes. It's a bit of an awkward shape but you can fit other stuff around it in the backpack. It is not at all heavy.

Kenneth, it is. We just took it to New Orleans with us for Spring Break, which was really nice. It comes with a bag (albeit a cheap and ugly one, but it fits inside- it is not cushioned for protecting it but it does cover the screen). It is 27" too so you would probably not be laying it across your lap but you could if you desired to. The battery lasts for about 2 hours when the computer is unplugged. We took the plug with us on our trip and the home we rented had wifi so we just simply set it on the table and plugged it in. We were able to access all of our things just like at home (like having a laptop, but bigger and better).

If all you had in it was the laptop, then yes, it collapses really well. If you hav a lot of other items other than the laptop, I don't think it will do well as it expands really well.

I wouldn't put a laptop in it. With that much weight the clips may give way. I put my iPad in there, but I saw that with much more weight the snaps came open. This could result in a laptop on the ground.

I don't know if I would call it portable. It is about 25 inches long and lightweight. I can see throwing it in for a car trip, but I'm not sure if you would want to take up suitcase space - definitely not carry on. Hope this helped.

Yes, it is truly mobile. The battery lasts up to 2 hours and with the wifi you can connect anywhere. However, it is a little bulky and heavy. It is more the screen size and weight that makes it a little less mobile friendly. I move mine from room to room sometimes and even to the patio. If I were running in someplace for 15 minutes, I don't know that I'd lug this VAIO with me, but if sitting someplace for an hour or two it is mobile enough. I haven't looked for a large carrier bag to pack it to go out someplace, but I'd suggest doing that too. Hope that helps? In short, truly mobile, yes. Conveniently mobile, less so than a laptop or smaller tablet.

You could use it for that but it is a little heavy and awkward to travel easily. It would be a lot easier to use a larger lap top as far as portability!

You could get it in the bag but not in the laptop flap, it really is only meant for the small chromebook or a tablet.

I am not sure if you want to know about the weight or size. The laptop compartment had a lot of room left after holding a 13" screen.And about the weight, I didn't really weigh it, but it's surely heavier than regular laptop backpacks (the ones which are not school backpacks, but just laptop backpacks)

I'm not in the location where I keep the unit, so I can't measure or weigh it , but I'll say that for me it surely is portable for travel by plane. It's about 10" x 10" x 4", and isn't heavy (its physical dimensions and weight must be shown in the product specifications) and does have a somewhat flimsy carrying case as part of its product package. If you're a person that finds anything heavier than an ultra-thin laptop "heavy", then it's not portable. But if you understand that fans, focusing motors and high amperage lights do take up space and have some weight, then by all means it is.

Not really. It's too large to be portable. It's a nice product and a GREAT value but not really ideal to knock down and set back up.

No, this is not a portable computer and I'm not aware of a battery, but it may have one. Since it is built very similar to a flat screen TV, it can be moved easily, but it is a desktop. I really like mine and very seldom use my laptop since getting the Acer All In One. I love the big screen.

Yes u can but its kinda awkward if ur thinking of using the touch feature becausee laptop doesn't fold like a tablet I don't use touch as much

Yes, the base plastic with a hinge across the bottom that will fold into a thin unit that is easily transported. Both the power and USB wires disconnect from the base. So, the unit is very portable. One could easily pack it into a roller-bag for a week-long business trip, or pack it into a laptop bag.

It definitely is portable to take to a hotel. Just put it in a bag of your choice to take it along with you as it is large to carry otherwise.

No, unfortunately it's not. Yet, it's still quite portable... The power cord can be removed from the back, so it's easy to just pack up and take with (provided you have electricity).
