The regulations quoted on a BBC article are:
"nothing bigger than 16cm (6.3ins) long, 9.3cm (3.6ins) wide or 1.5cm (0.6ins) deep will be allowed into the cabin - which means mobiles like the larger iPhone Plus will still be allowed."
So as BlankBox points out you could take all on a 200Gb micro SDXC card, you could then use that micro SDXC card in most smart phones. The phones can almost all also drive an external display and link to a Bluetooth keyboard. So your computing needs can be met by your smartphone, which is in any case probably more powerful than a year 2000 laptop.
