I wish the Motorola Atrix concept of plugging your phone into a laptop-shell and using the phone's CPU, memory, storage, etc. had taken off. My iPhone is already much more powerful than this ARM laptop, but I obviously can't use it like a laptop.
- txsh 9y agoI’m convinced Apple is working towards something like this.
- jhpankow 9y agoWhy would they turn your phone into a laptop when they can sell you a Macbook?
- eof 9y agoBecause less people are buying macbooks and maybe you will by a macdock instead?
- jack_pp 9y agoexactly, it is hard to believe a dock would cannibalize the macbook market
- andreareina 9y agoCould cannibalize the iPad market instead
- cubano 9y agoThis product is too obvious and to doable for it to that far off, so hopefully a bit more patience is all we need.
- kinkora 9y agoyou mean this? https://www.sentio.com/ https://www.sentio.com/ In android world, the concept is alive & well. I myself use the sentio desktop app to connect to a monitor and use a bluetooth keyboard/mouse.
- e12e 9y agoSamsung has a "DeX"-åroduct that aims to do this: https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/dex/ https://www.samsung.com/us/explore/dex/ Would be nice if there was a standard so, any USB c phone could plug into a display - along with the display acting as a hub, and/or Bluetooth for keyboard. [ed: for desktop/dock. See sibling for sentio - which is for turning phone into laptop]
- oneeyedpigeon 9y agoAnd imagine if you could plug in multiple phones.
