I turned my Moto Razr into a tiny workstation - and wrote this entire story on it - ZDNET

Our gifting experts are obsessively searching for holiday gifts that are unique, thoughtful and suitable for any budget. I wanted to save my back during my next work trip, so I assembled a workstation using the smallest devices I could find. Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. As a traveling journalist, I’m always looking to make my work setup as portable as possible. A lighter setup is typically preferable to a larger one, even if the latter comes with more screen size and power. At CES, for example, my primary laptop was an MSI Prestige 13 that weighs under two pounds, and let me tell you, it was heavenly. But I couldn’t help but wonder just how far I could push this idea. So, I put together a kit that weighed not only less than one kilogram but less than half a kilogram: 480 grams to be exact. Also: My search for the ultimate MagSafe accessory is over: This keyboard checks all the boxes Now, the possibilities are endless. Suddenly, I can work on a plane in economy. The setup also means I don’t need a backpack; in fact, I barely need to use a pocket in my pants. So what is this magic combination that’s solved all my issues? It all started at CES when I sat down
