    You can do all that with USB C and a touch keyboard. There is no good reason under the sun to make a device that is this dated in concept.

    Whatever the market is they’re trying to fill, it’ll be so extremely niche that this product is already a failure. It’s not the first time some kind of ultra niche product from kickstarter failed before launch because except for a small handful even cared.

        I can do that and more on my Pinephone running Kali Nethunter. While it’s mostly a gimmick with awfull battery life, I’ve already used it a few times mostly in regards to wifi pentesting for my cyber-sec job, i.e when going to lunch onsite and you notice a new wifi AP you didn’t see when inside the office you’re working on.

        And since it has an USB-C, I can simply plug in a dock with two USB-As, Ethernet, PD and HDMI, to turn it into a full-fledged Kali desktop.

          Pinephone looks great and the keyboard case seems very ergonomic. Fo you use it as your daily driver?

        If you get a phone and install PostmarketOS on it, you could also get pretty far on it, couldn’t you?
