What? Showing attention with laptop is much more difficult than with glasses on
What? You literally can't look away from a pair of AR glasses.
Attention is not only in the eyes

You could take a normal laptop and remove the screen.
I've seen several laptops used like this. The only issue is that the WiFi antennas are (usuall?) in the screen.
You can get some other antennas, place them in the chassis and connect them to the network card. On (at least the first run of) MNT Reform laptops that's how it's done.

He says he uses the Khadas Mind / Khadas Mind 2 which is a mini pc that has a battery so its pretty much a screenless laptop. Not clear the battery is very large but he uses an external one too as its usb c powered.
It says that the battery is for when you want to move the PC between desks, so I'd imagine it only lasts for five minutes or so.
Its a 90Wh battery powering a mobile SoC. It should last significantly more than 5 mins.

Where did you see 90? The site says 5.5.

#186I got excided looking at this hoping there was a laptop with out a screen. I'm totally blind so the power draw of a screen is pointless. I currently use my ROG Alli with a Bluetooth keyboard to connect to my more powerful laptop which has a keyboard that's going bad. While this setup works well and the battery life is pretty good it would be much nicer if I didn't have to put a keyboard on my lap, and the Alli on a t…
On my Macbook Air, if I bring the screen brightness all the way down the screen appears to be completely off.

#188That battery pack is too large to fly with, unless they changed the regulations? Used to be 10,000 mAH no?
100 Wh, with LiIon usually around 27Ah

Since you mentioned the ROG Ally, if you are looking for a handheld without a screen (basically a controller with a built in computer) you may like the Tecno Pocket Go. Also, great pun with being blind and "excited looking at this".
> Also, great pun with being blind and "excited looking at this". I'm also blind and this is not a pun. No one blind I know would change their usage of language to avoid using vision verbs for the sake of underlining how blind they are.
