If you want to use glasses as a monitor replacement, that sort of form factor is one possible outcome. Someone did a PC with that as a display, and IIRC it kinda looked like that.
Like you, I kind of prefer the idea of separating the keyboard from the rest of the PC if you’re doing that. Just use a carrying case/backpack/whatever and plug and take the cables out when setting up. But if you place a premium on setup time and portability, if you’re very frequently popping the thing open and shut, I suppose it’s not unreasonable. I mean, we could theoretically also have a mini PC plus portable display plus keyboard form factor, and yet, that’s much less popular than the laptop form factor.
Sorry for the off-topic question but I’m curious. I have seen people say “kagis” in a comment a few times in the past and I tried looking it up to see what it means but found irrelevant results. What does it mean in this context? Thanks in advance!
I guess that if you have a usb-c monitor in multiple locations, you can just carry a keyboard and mouse…
Cool, but not sure if it’s useful. Someone will buy it though.
Everything I can think of would be better served by a laptop or a mini PC.
If you want something for your kids that runs Linux out of the box, it might be a good option.
The regular 500 for $90 would be a good option for kids, but this 500+ for $200 comes at way too high a price premium over it to justify IMO.
Well, if I had kids, I’d buy them this one.

“googles” -> searches with Google search engine
“kagis” -> searches with Kagi search engine
Thanks again. When I come across a word I don’t know I like to look it up to learn it. That one has been bugging me for a while.
My office uses hot desking. You get a monitor, with a usb-C docking station with a cheap dell mouse and keyboard.
I could see this working in that situation if you want a good keyboard/mouse. You can’t easily take it to a meeting room to take notes though…
It doesnt support USBC video output so its a really lame device imo. I just want a single cable solution ffs, why are there so few SBCs that do this.
