How about smaller computers or devices without a display.

These devices could also have an wireless modem to be used for more operations.
Programms could be loaded by putting them into the disk drive and then be copied onto the device.(Like PDAs)
Also, these devices could have a power button and a light to indicate operations or information.

How EXACTLY would you load code on them?

He's saying that you'd place the device into a disk drive - as you would a floppy disk (or nearly any computer, in later CC builds), and then use another system to copy stuff on.

What I don't get is that the regular computer is already a single block in size, and even has a display built into that space. What would be the purpose of anything smaller? You still wouldn't be able to place other blocks within the same position…

Like computers that don't have a screen, like idk a server maybe?

It would give CC a sorta of OpenComputersy vibe. Like servers? that's cool!

Actually…. Nope.

It won't give you any advantages.

It won't. No more processing power. No more nothing.

It's really only an aesthetic change.

And ComputerCraft is focused on the program aspect of computers, not the look of them.
