It is basically a laptop guts but no keyboard. The computer is behind the LCD. The Profile 3 is a favorite of Stuart Stevenson's. Some of the later models (4, 5 and 6) have a big base with the computer in it. One problem with these is the screens are EASILY destroyed, and so a lot on eBay have either discolored spots or total destruction of the screen. But, they have 1 GHz Pentium CPUs and a perfect parallel port. These are real good for installation in old CNC control cabinets, and there are touch screens available that work well with them. The glass-plate touch screen also protects the LCD.
Dell and HP also make "thin client" boxes that are incredibly small, and I'm pretty sure the Dells have par ports on them, not totally clear on the HP. Most of these are diskless, but if they will boot off a USB drive, they should work.
