it would be more practical to use the cd32 for a laptop over the 500 for 1) size 2) cd32 has the right chip set, and design 3) speed and 4) it was one of the last products of the old commodore era. I estimate $3k on a do it yourself. someone actually did a laptop off a 600 motherboard. crude looking though! do a search on amiga laptops a link should come up somewhere. A viable concept for nostalgia if it wee to be produced...I'd get one! or just use emulation on a windoze blaaaa!
