You probably thought a display was a vital piece of the laptop experience, but you were wrong.

A slabtop is a headless laptop with the display and lid removed, resembling home computers from the 80s.
Reasons to create a slabtop include converting broken laptops into usable ones, taking advantage of bargains on laptops with damaged screens, and for the fun of it.
To use a slabtop, you'll need to connect to a compatible external display, either through wired connections to a monitor or AR goggles, or wireless solutions like AirPlay.
