If you actually want such a machine, you are way outside of Apple's current demographic.
Not to mention the weight. I just picked mine up, and to hold that on my lap for any period longer then 5 minutes would cut off all the flood flow, and my legs would fall off.

I don't know how much of that is the work of the built-in stand, but jeeze...
