To some degree, yes. It is possible in the sense that you can put a motherboard in a portable case, connect it to battery power, use smaller drives, etc... The main issues in doing so are heat dissipation and the power system / power management. Heat dissipation is the ability to remove heat from the system so that it does not overheat, a greater challenge in a small case. The problem with power is first that you will probably not be able find a portable power supply that can automatically switch from AC power to batteries. Even if you do, monitoring it may not be handled transparently by the operating system (ie a battery icon in the system tray), requiring additional software.

Are the hard drives for laptops the same for Desktop computers?
Laptop hard drives are very similar to desktop hard drives, indeed they work in exactly the same way and even use the same interfaces. However laptop hard drives are designed to be much smaller (2 inches as opposed to 3.5) and draw less power than desktop hard drives. As a result laptop hard drives are usually much slower in terms of data transfer and have much smaller storage capacity than a desktop hard drive of the same year manufacture. With an adapter it is possible to use a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer, and if mounted externally it is also possible to use a desktop hard drive on a laptop.
