The problem here is there's not a clear value proposition. It seems like a really cool concept, but who is it for?
What situations exist where a potential user would have access to desktop peripherals, but also don't have access to a laptop?
- oarsinsync 4y agoI’ve just given up on my M1 Pro MBP in favour of my M1 iPad Pro with detachable keyboard case. I’m very excited to see if the rumours about a proper DE for iPadOS when attached to a monitor comes true. I don’t want to carry my laptop around. It’s too big and heavy. I want to carry one device that I can use as a portable device, but also use as a full fat device when I have appropriate peripherals, without having to worry about some kind of Cloud sync instead. I don’t want to have to wait for state to sync between multiple devices. I want a single device that can do literally everything. The M1 iPad Pro with detachable keyboard (Logitech Folio) and Pencil is dangerously close. Now if it could run a Linux environment that wasn’t horrifically slow due to Apple’s obscene limitations (see iSH, which is incredible, but unfortunately, slow), that would solve everything. For now, I depend on Cloud VMs instead, which falls over once my connectivity becomes poor.
