Laptops are incredibly versatile haha. You can take the display and keybooard off for a smaller footprint and better cooling, too.

Relatively recent smartphones also work great for a lot of stuff.



Using smartphones is an interesting idea. Can you recommend any reading material on this?


They're just general computing devices. With the right software (and/or some hardware) you can turn them into whatever you want. CCTV, web server, door/gate intercom, electric meter reader/submitter, NAS (maybe with multiple drives using a powered USB hub), Wifi AP, media center, desktop computer, etc
