The most stressful part of carrying a computing screen around—whether that display’s part of a tablet, laptop, monitor, or even a more wieldy portable monitor—is making sure the device doesn’t crack, snap, or otherwise break going from point A to point B. LG’s new StanbyME Go (27LX5QKNA) tends to such concerns with a 4.69-inch-thick (119 mm), supposedly military-grade briefcase to which a massive 27-inch tablet is permanently attached.

LG’s not selling it in the US (yet)

The wacky design, spotted recently by sites like GSMArena, is listed on LG’s South Korean website as being available starting June 7, as per a Google translation of the page.

Ars Technica asked LG if there is a US price or release date, and a spokesperson said the company didn’t “have anything to share in regard to US plans at this time.” However, the device does seem to be available at South Korea’s YooTopia website to US shoppers for $1,050.
