Yeah if you slurp semen.

>>106557085 (OP)
why do you need a keyboard when you can just talk into it ideally you'd have eye sensors as well for mouse control. probably want some form of glasses for the display

>>106557106
Why glasses when you can neural render directly to your visual cortex? Further, why directly to visual cortex instead of tapping into the brain and injecting programmed sequences of neuron firings to "know kungfu" directly in the consciousness?

>>106557085 (OP)
Ok imagine this:
A laptop, but instead of a motherboard with computer parts, you have a docking slot where you plug in your phone and the laptop runs off that. Probably still want a separate battery since I'm not sure how a phone battery would fare with a larger laptop screen.

>>106557085 (OP)
I already use one of these with my chromebook, it works very well.

>>106557143
This already exists since the start of past decade

>>106557085 (OP)
This is perfection, for my world on the web revolves around three pillars: 4chan, YouTube, and Wikipedia, the ideal setup in its purest form.

>>106557085 (OP)
does it have desktop mode?

>>106557389
No, only screen mirroring.

>makes women's pussy drier than Atacama Desert
skill issue. my woman has the same one as me

I've been kvetching about how inefficient software has become (landian self-perpetuating demand cycle to fuel hardware gainz to accomplish singularity) and when I bought a macbook air and realized I could emulate current-gen games with maybe a 25w power draw, I teared up a little bit.

Literally impressed multiple girls in my class with my thinkpad shut the fuck up

>>106557283
y it flopped tho??

>>106557816
I think price was a factor, the laptop dock cost almost the same as an entry-level x86 laptop

I'm pretty sure if Apple released something like this at the price of the cheapest Macbooks, iToddlers would buy it in droves and hail it as the most revolutionary thing since the iPhone tho.

>>106557598
Yeah I'm sure you did.

He will never be a woman

>>106558138
she's a woman (female (biological (XX chromosomes (has a womb (and ovaries))))). but I'm not surprised you don't know what that is or that you've never seen one before

>>106557085 (OP)
iPhone/iPad ecossystem's where it's at for me.

you use velcro shoes, don't you?

>>106557095
What now?

>>106557816
Cumbersome. Price. Locked into particular phone/dock setups; users could only buy certain devices, Motorola unable to easily explore other form factors.

>>106557975
Apple does have some patents where iPhones dock in place of a trackpad, iPads as notebook screens, and Macbooks that dock into iMac style screens. A throwback of sorts to the Powerbook Duo. But they know well enough what kind of design lock-in it would create for them.
At most they did release a keyboard dock for the original iPad. but it's useless for anything outside of the 3 iPads with the 30-pin connector.

Almost everything Apple makes is solely for media-consuming cattle.

>>106557085 (OP)
I don't think the base iPhone supports that.

>need to take a shit

I wish it worked, but I don't want my phone tethered to my desk.

When will we get a 4080 in this form? All of the adapters currently on sale relies on the CPU, I dont think any of them offer any real hardware acceleration.

>>106557816
I actually owned an Atrix and the lapdock. It was hot fucking garbage to actually use. Instead of just giving you android but larger and with a WM, it booted you into a custom Linux distro any time you docked it. It then also mirrored your phone in a little window so it was essentially running android and Linux at the same time. The phone was not powerful enough to do this. It was a laggy, stuttering mess. I wanted to like it, the lapdock itself felt super premium in-hand and the concept was solid but in practice it was unusably bad.

On the flipside, being able to carry a microHDMI cable and just have it seamlessly plug n play mirror to basically any screen was perhaps the most convenient screen mirroring setup I've ever used.

>dongle
wrong, you get yourself a monitor with thunderbolt and plug it all there. Only one cables gets to penetrate your computer

My pinephone came with something like this and I can't get it to work

>>106557085 (OP)
when I'm bored at work, I use Samsung Dex with a spare dock at work to remote back to my home computer so I can shitpost

it's pretty shit for anything else though

>>106557085 (OP)
what keyboard is that

this but the exact opposite

>>106557085 (OP)
So you're going to do your work on a low-rez screen mirror of the phone in portrait mode on a landscape LCD? That's going to be fun.
What's the mouse for? Iphones don't support that.
Basically, you're a retard, anon.

>>106560143
iToddlers are still in denial that phones with USB-C ports are good.
Yeah Samsung has had Dex for many years now but this whole being able to just connect your phone to other devices is new and a bit scary for them.

And Apple probably doesn't even follow the USB-C alternate mode standard so they would actually need a dongle - face saved.

>>106560534
Is that how it works?
With Samsung Dex you can either mirror the phone screen (handy for app developers but otherwise useless) or use the phone as a track pad while the OS switches to the screen's native aspect ratio and shows a desktop environment rather than the Android layout.

>>106557085 (OP)
The perfect phone
>As powerful as a desktop
>All applications run in desktop or phone screen sizes, dynamically resizes elements (gnome does this currently)
>Automatically arranges windows when going between docked and undocked
>Home server backs up all configs. Lose your phone? Dock the new one at home and the server automatically restores it

I can now doomscroll in a totally retarded aspect ration, truly the future of computing.

>>106559137
That already exists though. For how small it is, it'd beg the question as to why you'd plug your phone in to that. Even if you could let the computer utilize the phone's processor power, it'd be too minor to make a difference and wouldn't be necessary for what a miniPC is supposed to do: be a compact low power unit for basic tasks. What benefit would letting the phone's processor even do, run a youtube stream better?

>>106559424

That's how I thought it worked

>it booted you into a custom Linux distro any time you docked it. It then also mirrored your phone in a little window so it was essentially running android and Linux at the same time. The phone was not powerful enough to do this.
So the lapdock was basically a low-end ARM Linux shitbox, that probably didn't even actually need the phone to run? That's probably part of the reason why it was so expensive.

>>106560703
Wait, Ubuntu Touch as an actual desktop mode?

>>106560883
Yes
https://www.ubuntu-touch.io/

>>106560617
what do you need all that for? phones are toys for toddlers apple or not. I tried to edit an excel sheet couple days ago and making formulas takes 100x the time. Enjoy your gacha games on your superior phone

>>106557089
>2017
let it go bruh

>>106559190
By base do you mean 16e? iphone 16 & 17 base models absolutely support 4k HDR video out.

>>106559309
Why do you take your phone with you to the commode?

>>106560534
All rubbish & worng.
1. All iphones with the exception of 16e support 4k HDR out.
2. When the iphone is in landscape mode, so is the output.
3. All iphones support mouse input.
Why lie?

>>106561698
people have always brought magazines, journals, etc. phones are just the next evolution

My 8th grade English teacher called this in like 2007 which was low key impressive in retrospect

>>106562127
When the original iPhone was introduced it was noted that the OS shared foundations with OSX. So the idea of it (or any smartphone,) becoming the basis of a personal computer (if even netbook grade,) is a natural thought progression.

Only shortcoming of this device is that it requires a separate Usb C power source.
