So we have pocket computets right. But the size is just so small. So what we had tablets with the size of the computer but could be carried around.
If this was suggested before sorfy I couldn't find it.

It was sorta brought up back when they were in beta - prior to 1.6, you could change the display sizes of systems to whatever you wanted in the config. Dan took that out, though he never explained why.

He should bring that back. That would be a nice update! Maybe you can set the size per computer (as in OpenConputers).

Would this tablet have any other functionality?

Maybe you can lay down the tablet and use touch? As a screen?

A portable computer (laptop) that can be carried and placed on the ground would be really nice. ^^ Operate like a real computer but still continues to work in your inventory and can be used as a pocket computer (with a normal screen size). And when placed, it would looks like a laptop but it cannot connect to other components, so it needs a wireless upgrade. And when placed, more than one player can use it, like normal computers and instead of pocket computers.

Why do we need this? If you want to be able to collaborate with friends while also having your stuff on the move, then place your pocket PC in a disk drive. The normal PC will be able to access the pocket one like a disk.
