This is great. Being able to so easily take your whole computer with you is amazing.
I am a bit more into touch screens these days.
I would like to use a small SoC computer, something like the Mouse Box or one of the few existing fully capable Android smart watches, and plug it into a touch screen display.
Basically instead of a full tablet I want just a dumb display/touch input module that can easily interface with a separate small SoC computer.
A bit perhaps like project Ara but I don't want to use it just a phone and I am more focused on carrying the core around and plugging in different displays.
I guess I could get a Chromecast or something and plug my smart watch/small SoC HDMI into the cheapest tablet available and that would achieve basically the same thing, but it is a waste because I wouldn't be using the other parts of the tablet aside from the display and touch.
