Lenovo USB powered monitor looks great

I thought about the Toshiba option but this Lenovo sounds way better.
I have a 2012 2.3ghz 15" macbook pro, which i am going to sell.
I got it refurbed so i should loose to much when i sell it.
The mini now with 2.6ghz quad core and 4 usb 3 ports for my need is perfect for music production.
Sometimes i have to go and record away from home.
I always use an external full size keyboard and track ball mouse as its the way i am used to working.
So with the Lenovo 14" usb powered screen i can easily go mobile with the mini.
The mac mini with lenovo screen weighs less than a 15" macbook pro and its power supply. (before you say 'yeah but what about the keyboard and mouse you need for the mini?" well as i said above i work with an external keyboard and mouse with the MBP any ways.)
The lenovo has a great light weight cover to protect the screen.
So the 2.6 ghz mini with lenovo screen comes to
£869.00
And the equivalent MBP 2.6 ghz 15" costs £1800.00.
I already have a 24" monitor to so its a no-brainer for me.
I save £900 and get a portable mac mini and get 2 more usb 3 ports.
