believe me, i wish the portable monitor setup thing is solved. yeah you can put it on the desk next to a monitor, but the best case scenario is you still have a cable going out to it, and packing is a hassle. A complete setup like this or a folding-screen laptop (like Lenovo ones) is much easier.

I know it's almost impossible but I wish Apple does this. Or somebody can tack on the MBA motherboard with a custom display assembly.

This is solved, for me... the monitor slides right into my backpack next to the MBA. It's about as thick, and only slightly wider/longer as it's a 15" monitor.

The cable I use is a6' USB-C cable. The monitor is both powered and driven off of the MBA whether or not I have that plugged into the wall.
