Guarantee this happens
For those that can't use miracast ?
Supposed to be apps to do this for android/ apple devises.
If your phone supports Wifi Direct it most likely can support miracast in some way. There are some confusing options in android that may enable that (samsung and other android phones still support miracast so the feature still exist in the os even if broken in confusing pieces), or alternative OS's like Lineage that (i think) still have full support enabled. Either way, good luck!
1) No standardized "desktop" mode. I've been waiting for half-a-decade already, and haven't seen anything viable beyond DeX. Every year we see "leaks" and "hints" that will finally bring desktop mode and windowed apps mainstream, but every year it doesn't go beyond beta testing. Heck, even on my Poco it's hidden behind "Developer Options" and still limited to 1080p over USB2.0.
2) Stupid USB2.0. It's 2023, and still most phones use USB2, which means slow speeds and not a hint of alt modes.
Until both of these change, I'll have to stick with my trusty Thinkpad x240, but still looking forward to a bright future, where a "supercomputer in my pocket" can at least run Google Docs on the big screen.
I don't see it as a winner still, just buy a chrome book.
It'll find a niche, but f#@£ knows where, I can count the number of times I've seen or heard interest in such a thing in zero seconds.
This generall idea goes as back as windows phone, at the time the software wasn't very mature and the hardware was lacking for this kind of solution. Now the hardware is more than good enought to make something very good but no one seems to be interested in putting the work into making software for it to become a reality.
Afterall, why sell a phone and a cheap laptop-dock when you can sell a phone a full laptop right?
To be wireless it's going to have a arm cored controller and everything else required for a Chromebook?!
IE it's a Chromebook with some link software and no chrome OS.
I'll just buy a Chromebook for the same money use my Google account,drive and apps and not bother with this pile of toss at all.
And not waste my phone battery while using my laptop ISH thing.
It's like a portable monitor for your desktop pc IMHO, an idea full of pointlessness arse.
Maybe consumer demand isn't there (yet), otherwise manufacturers would have cared enough to do something about it. Phone hardware has been powerful enough to run in "desktop mode" for a while now - they don't really have much to worry about here. Software's trickier, but I could see if they tried to tackle it with some clever a-la Wine solutions for native desktop stuff and enforce universal standards on how a native mobile app can run in desktop mode.
Phones are very overpowered nowadays, it doesn't even make sense. If they're going to continue to push performance arbitrarily higher and higher, let's at least do something useful with it.
To the point of the price, and if it's wireless or not, etc. well for now (and sadly for the foreseeable future) this is a niche category that most won't care for (not even me since my phone doesn't have a usable desktop mode or display alt mode :( ), maybe one day this will get more popular.I don't think it's even that trickier. Google knows how to do containers. They also know how to run linux on arm. They also know how to virtualize platforms. They even have already made a pretty nice desktop environment of their own (chrome os). They even made something very close to this in chromeos (crostini - linux container in chrome os).
It's just a matter of putting the pieces together
The laptop format allows for better cooling and performance potential then a phone and as it says it has a battery and Can charge the phone they know damn well that intense use of a phone, wireless, leads quickly to the charging cable.
This shits will indeed be great in 20/30 years when fold out touch screens redefine this whole concept into something actually useful.
There are some steps by few, towards in home shared computation, anyway.
I'm not a fan, you are, that's ok.
But not even you are buying it:p:)
