I think we're only a couple years away from having highly productive computers with us all the time, but I think it's going to come through head mounted displays. There's been positive reports on the nreal[1] glasses user experience, and immersedvr[2] seems to have made a lot of progress in working in VR (on an oculus quest).
The usable screen sizes in these head mounted interfaces can already beat laptops, and I suspect someone will be able to solve the input problem with a new portable keyboard/mouse.
Cyberspace here we come!

- ant6n 6y agoI’ve got an iPhone, it’s one of the most powerful computers I’ve had. Unfortunately it’s not super productive, mostly consumptive.
- codemac 6y agoI've found that input methods & speed decide how "consumptive" a device is. Great example are tablets are a pita to type on for me, so I can't use them for much other than playing Go and watching youtube. Even searching wikipedia is too laborious because I don't like the typing.
- ars 6y agoI wonder if you could use the highest resolution on the screen, while wearing magnifying (reading) glasses.
- kilroy123 6y agoI think this will happen after Apple goes full tilt on AR glasses.
