Congratulations, you just reinvented dumb terminals.
You're severely underestimating bandwidth and lag.
Yes, a dumb terminal is exactly what I want, but mobile.
Right, so slap Linux on a craptop and SSH into your desktop. Done.
This is any computer and remote desktop. Could build a Linux machine to start a remote desktop tool instead of a desktop environment, if you want.
Again I do not want another computer.
Actually, you do, but you're just in denial about it for some reason.
I do this regularly with my phone as well as my laptop. You don't need anything special to run a remote desktop client.
I do not want a remote desktop client. I do not want another computer. I want a screen and keyboard. Do you see the difference?
So you are demanding magic?
To be fair the thread is products that don't exist... Plenty of other requests for holodecks and brain implants, etc.
The problem is that this product exists, and that commenter can't even explain how a laptop falls short.
Didn't they make that for video games?
a tablet like the PineTab, just not starting X?
