Exactly.
There IS a market for "luggable" portables--look at alienware, et al. The question is whether it is worth it for Apple to enter the space. The debate is very similar to whether or not Apple should introduce a tablet sub-notebook or a headless iMac (HELLOOO Mac mini!). The key lies in the ability to market the product effectively without significant overlaps between the lines.
A cheap way to get this "luggable" computer would be to add a battery to the iMac G5 and allow it to sleep when unplugged for say 6 hours. It would require the user to plug it in to use, but not shut down.
