I know it'll cost more, but a laptop is probably more practical. Easier to haul around and has its own power source.

​while I agree, most (not all) of the professional dit guys I've worked with pack towers with them, so this little box is pretty portable in comparison.

If they pack towers, they'll want the performance and power from a tower. This little box uses laptop components, with 15-25W TDP. Full-sized computers have CPUs that can go as high as 150W TDP. I think Haswell-E's TDP is about 140W on average. I haven't even started on the GPUs!

I was thinking I could velcro the tiny i5 onto one of my smaller monitors?

​Why velcro? Intel's NUCs usually have a VESA mount.
