    So imagine a desktop connected to your tv with an hdmi cable. You’d see the screen on your tv, and you’d have a wireless keyboard/mouse.

    Now replace the cable with a wireless hdmi dongle - like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q64M71N

    Now replace your tv with a portable monitor like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNWWF32B

    So you’d have basically a non-laptop that you could only use within like 30-ish feet of your desktop. You could have access to powerful pc that’s incredibly lightweight.

      So I guess you can do all that, but it seems like a lot of trouble for something very few people would want to me.

        Well it wouldn’t be a lot of trouble if it were mass-produced. It would be way cheaper than even a tablet.

        Weird that the computer companies want to just keep selling us computers, right?

        I mean imagine if an ipad just connected to a desktop instead of running its own processor? You could have the power and storage of a desktop that you can customize to your specs, but access it in whichever way is more convenient.
