I'm a fan of portrait computing.
Never had a problem.
Flat panel displays can *all* be made portrait displays. Some for free, some at cost. At worst, you buy a monitor stand like this:

With a lot of monitors you don't have to do even that: you can remove the monitor's base and re-attach it in portrait mode. I've done it repeatedly with monitors from several vendors.
For portables, convertible TabletPCs have been available for over a decade. I've had good experiences with Compaqs, HPs, and Toshibas. There has always been a premium for laptops capable of portrait use but it has been steadily dropping. These days it is lower than ever, with the increasing popularity of 360 degree hinges and touch.
Of course, all this only applies to the Windows world.
Macs were the first mainstream computers to support portrait computing but under Jobs that was generally deprecated.
