Guess all depends on what you do, a PC won't match top performing gaming laptops without a dedicated GPU.I travelled with my "lapdesk"/portable PC and it's great. Fits into a larger 17'' laptop bag. No external PSU means only a kettle lead, keyboard and mouse/trackball to take. Really shines for VR with a Quest 2 and Virtual Desktop app, glad I didn't go for an APU build with mine.I tried a laptop screen and price-wise was the same as the portable monitor in the parts list. Laptop screens have just a ribbon cable, you need a controller board for HDMI and power (usually via a 5v jack). Swapping screens a pain, too - you need a screen that's compatible with the controller board, they are not standardised. In a laptop, the controller board is built into the motherboard
