I am considering buying a small, and therefore easily portable, computer as an alternative to the laptop I already have. Obviously it would not have battery, a screen, nor a keyboard etc. but more or less be an easily portable computing unit to move between offices where a keyboard and monitor(s) could then be connected. I want to run CentOS 7, later CentOS 8.
The smaller, the better, however, there are certain key features I would like to have:
- HDMI for 2 monitors
- USB for keyboard
- 2 extra USB for eg external harddisk etc.
- both wifi and at least Gb Ethernet cable connector
Probably at least 16 Gb of memory, capability to drive two high-resolution monitors and whatever else might be nice such as SSD of at least 256 Gb.
Size wise it would be nice if it were no larger than a "book", whatever size that might be.
Does anyone use something like the above, or know of a computer meeting the above criteria?

At the top of my head I think the Intel NUC meets your expectations.

a NUC is a compact low power desktop.but it still needs a screen and a keyboard/mouse, etc.
I use a 8" highres tablet running android for my ultra-portable applications ... Its been awhile since I"ve needed more in hte field.
My current Huawei M3 tablet runs SkySafari Pro nicely with the maximum database and doesn't crash if a few more apps are active. high res 8" screen suits me perfectly for my star charts

Needs to run Centos to be used as a hyper-portable workstation.

Asrock has a series of Intel and/or AMD based mini-pc's called the DeskMini. Competes in the Intel NUC space. Plenty of power and up-to-date components, multiple ports for dual monitor and at least two ssd's, etc. I don't work for Asrock or sell their equipment.

Looks very interesting and a large selection of options. Is anyone running Centos on one of these?

The smaller BeBoxes might be interesting, the other ones are too large.
