Well some of the new Microsoft Lumia phones had the ability to work as a desktop computer. Look how well it did for Microsoft ;p The idea is cool but the computers and smart phones are so cheap everyone has somekind of computer (or access to one) + smart phone. This would've awesome in the mid-2000s, though ;-) + Haven't seen a device that really solves different usage patters of mobile phone and desktop in the same UI. If you're going suggest Windows 8-10, I'm sorry to break it to you but they failed miserably.

> "The idea is cool but the computers and smart phones are so cheap everyone has somekind of computer (or access to one) + smart phone." I don't own a x86 PC, all I have access to are work computers and my smartphone. This is partly out of choice, I want to keep my possessions to a minimum. As for your other points, I would suggest that previous attempts have failed because they were clunky, with USB Type C the potential is there for a much better user experience. > "If you're going to suggest Windows 8-10, I'm sorry to break it to you but they failed miserably." You're treating your own opinion like a breaking news story. Nice try, but it doesn't give it any extra weight.
