A laptop carrying case is a hard or semi-hard sided case with padding therein. A video monitor with adjustable stand is resident within the case and is connected to a laptop placed into the opened case. No external power cord or charger adapter is needed for the monitor. A mousepad with wrist rest is resident within the case. Appropriate voids within the padding hold the charging adapter and its cord and the mouse. A closable opening allows the cord to pass through the case and charge the laptop even if the case is closed. The carrying case may be made in a folding two-section or folding four-section configuration. Some configurations have a dividable work space within the case.
