  Would be great to be able to boot a beefy desktop computer from my laptop SSD.

  Also, target display mode (on iMacs): * https://support.apple.com/en-ca/105126 https://support.apple.com/en-ca/105126 Personally, I wish iMacs had built-in KVMs: with WFH being more of a thing, it'd be nice to have a giant display that I could use for personal stuff (iMac) and work stuff (plug in Macbook, PC laptop), and auto-switch between the two. (I personally like the all-in-one solutions of iMacs.)

  I was so envious of my friend's Macs being able to be used as external storage devices that this may have been what convinced me to buy my first macbook nearly 18 years ago.

    Why not NBD? It should be as fast, and there are many more NBD clients.
