I think it's about being able to take the portable device with you separately from the display and keyboard.

  So you mean a Microsoft Surface 2 in 1?

    I think that matches 2 out of 3 requirements: Full general-purpose computer: Yes Connects to external keyboard and display: Yes Fits into pocket: No

      When good keyboard, and decent-sized screen are priorities, "fits into pocket" is (self-)deception as they presumably will be carried in a backpack anyway. In other words it's unwieldy laptop one part of which fits into pocket. Alternative is to hope for keyboard and screen to be present at special places. Which however means that practical portability is very limited. Also it would affect security, personal ergonomics etc.

        I think the "special places" use case is exactly what OC was talking about, office and home.
