I WAS RIGHT!! ( viewtopic.php?p=123500#p123500 )
The iPad fits perfectly inside a Compact Mac.

I had hoped to be the first one to do this after figuring out it should work, but I just couldn't bring myself to buy one ... just not enough need for it, at least not until they improve the pixel density like they have for the iPhone.
I also debated where to put this. Technically it's a "hack", and it's about the iPad (so the Lounge). But ultimately it will be of most interest to Compact Mac enthusiasts. :beige:
Now just jailbreak that thing and run Mini vMac on it! This companion Wired article suggests that the Air Display App could be used to run Mini vMac from a desktop Mac. Even better!
Of course I would advocate for putting it inside the Mac without damaging the case. But that would be more-or-less permanent, as well as limit access to the connector port, which means, no charging. Wireless connectivity should control everything else, including audio out. I'm thinking if a person is willing to go this far, however, that a modified connector attached to a ribbon cable might be able to just fit within the case allowing access from the rear.
