I stopped using multiple monitors because managing windows across them is difficult. Now i use a single large monitor.

I wish a company would make a good portable computer to fit my work style:

- tall 20" x 12" matte screen with built-in stand to raise it up to eye level

- detachable corded tenting keyboard

- detachable corded tenting vertical mouse

- hot-swappable battery with various weights available

- thin 20-foot power cable with magnetic release on both ends

- vertical docking station with battery charge-level indicator

This sounds like an amazing design.

What does "tenting" mean in this case?

It usually refers to a split keyboard where each half is raised on one side, allowing for a more natural wrist posture. See this diagram for an example: https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/etools/computerworkstations/images...
