It would be ideal to have a PCIe Thunderbolt connector that allows you to attach a GPU that maglocks to the back of the screen while in use, and any manufacturer could make their own variations. Thunderbolt can easily send 100w of power. Wouldn't be on desktop scales but it would be enough to make me happy.
- okasaki 2y agoAdding weight to the screen makes it more awkward to handle, particularly on a lap. Same problem tablets with attached keyboards have.
- BizarroLand 2y agoThis is true to a point. In my mind this is ~4 oz. of extra weight, I feel like sufficiently strong hinges and just enough weight in the base would be fine for that little extra though.
