Desktop computers (stored under the table top) are less expensive, and offer more internal expansion room (for RAM, hard disks, video capture cards, etc.) than laptops. I've seen folding LCD screens advertised, but don't know just how flat they will go. Perhaps someone on this listserv can point you (and me) in the right direction.
