Upgrading Part Two: Flip top head
While individual users will be able to choose between full slates and convertible models like the ViewSonic Tablet PC V1100 and the HP Compaq Tablet PC TC1000, convertible laptops are few and far between. Keeping to our PDA model, you could opt for the flip-top Sony CLIE PEG-NR70VG, which has the same flippable functionality. If you were feeling particularly adventurous, you could detach your mobile screen and attempt to extend the monitor cables that bind it to the laptop body, although that's not a route we'd be keen on.

Faking It Part Two: Flip top head
If you just want the visual appeal, you could try to find a dead laptop -- no problems with breaking the monitor cable there -- or simply screwing a smaller keyboard, perhaps from a child's toy to your previously acquired etch-a-sketch. Remember to match the colour of the keyboard to that of the etch-a-sketch.
