I would love the child of a Surfacebook with a Framework laptop; or A bare keyboard attached to a screen, that I could plug my phone (possibly running Phosh) and use it as a hardware for a laptop experience

    I’m struggling to understand. I’m imagining an Apple Surface, is that what you are thinking?

      I guess that might be right. As of today, the iPad Pro is basically a laptop when attached to the magic keyboard. It only has a single thunderbolt port but can connect to an external display with caveats. Apple scuppers the experience by forcing you to have the iPad display open when connected to the monitor. I’m essentially looking for an experience like Samsung Dex where I get a desktop experience when docked - but a portable experience when on the go. I’m sure they could easily do this but choose not to in order too avoid eating into MacBook sales.
