I'm looking for a laptop alternative that matches the same size as a regular laptop but doesn't require a screen. It should be more compact in volume and could fit easily in a backpack, which would be a big advantage. This isn't something you usually find outside of Amazon products, such as this one?
The issue is it overheats and lacks proper cooling, similar to a laptop, and it also doesn't include a graphics card like most laptops do. Additionally, I don't need a keyboard or mousepad.
Thank you,
Al

There are numerous options available.
What purpose will it serve?

No graphics card, but they work well for mini setups too. They also appear to offer excellent temperature management, which makes me think about purchasing one—maybe paired with an external GPU. Thanks for your reply!

This could serve various purposes depending on the level of integration.

Thank you, I need this for both my personal and work computer. It's impressive that I can't locate a laptop without a screen that is both cheaper and equipped with solid components. I believe they should continue exploring the concept of mini PCs, but it should be achievable in a laptop...

A laptop without a display functions like a compact desktop.

I need a compact desktop version without a keyboard, but it seems this isn't available.

The closest you'd find is the BeeLink I listed, or similar size NUC things.
There would seem to be little market for a "laptop size thing without the screen".

I believe it's another kind of novelty product, no bigger than what you're expecting.
