luggable
Awkwardly able to carry
Luggable describes something that can be carried, but just barely—implying bulk or awkwardness rather than convenience.
The word acknowledges portability while emphasizing effort: The suitcase was luggable but not exactly light.
In computing history, luggable described early "portable" computers that were technically transportable but weighed twenty pounds or more.
