Nice try. I had the original and it can do everything this can do. Okay, it can do almost everything, like run calculator, but it's the original!

I had a third generation of yours - the Commodore Amiga.
Holy shot was that an amazing machine! It was ahead of its time in so many ways. I learned to do OOP on it, I created some cool pictures in Paint Shop Pro on it, and of course I used it to play a ton of fantastic games. And in a time before Windows took off, it offered Workbench - a really slick *nix based graphical OS.
I also used a 64 for a bit before I got my Amiga, and yes that was a superb machine too.
I guess neither the Amiga nor the Commodore 64 folded in two, so this new Ryzen-based machine has that over our two computers.
Seems pretty sweet idea iff have VR/AR glasses with you, or display where you’re going
Like in Johnny Mnemonic (1995).
Why is their internet so much cooler than what we have now? Instead of a crazy 3D VR world, we get a ton of spam, dull corporate run social networks and uncontrolled fake news and bots.
Hate to bring it up but there was Second Life and there is (?) the Metaverse crap.
FWIW, my comment was tongue in cheek.
From a UX perspective, making a long distance call to Beijing via VR is comical. Not to mention we have some excellent services via web and mobile that make life so much easier.
Is there a way I can use my laptop screen or phone screen as a display for another machine as this claims?
Through a remote desktop connection, yes.
But directly use the display hardware, almost always the answer is no. There are few laptops with display in capabilities, but they are really rare.
Right, so we won't realistically be able to use our other device screens as this article or the company claims, and will have to rely on monitors, TVs or VR/AR headsets. Could be useful for headless home servers I suppose.
I’d prefer a GameCube style box that I plug a good keyboard & mouse into in addition to the monitor.
Have you seen?: https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat
I have not, and that does look really cool. I’m gonna need a handle though.
Nice idea! Lets see how much this will cost in the end, and how it handles heat.
Soon we will be able to see hackers in full VR gear evading corporate owned police with the help of depraved mall ninja cyborgs. Oh it's gonna be glorious
Weird to keep the horizontal keyboard stagger when it makes such a complex folding line
Lol ling long
