(1) Phones have your data, settings, apps, etc. on them. Syncing things sucks. (2) The ARM in your phone is probably faster than a $250 laptop CPU. It can be plenty fine for most tasks. (3) Many of us aren't CPU-bound in the first place. The only thing holding our phones back are software, keyboard, and display. Done well, it'd be awesome. I definitely want something like the NexDock. However, I'll probably wait for V2 or V3. I think V1 will be good for people who would use it like a Chromebook. My V5 NexDock would look like an actual dock, and plug my phone into: * a pair of 4k monitors * a keyboard, a mouse * a pair of external HDDs (keeping my data backed up in RAID, and holding larger files) And have good software / application support.
