  My Steam Deck is basically that.

  It’s so obvious, I wish they had caught on! I remember there was a failed Ubuntu phone Kickstarter for exactly this…

  There’s a few Android phones that have it, old and new. I have an iPhone 16 at the moment and while it works with a dp-alt mode dock, it only mirrors the screen and nothing else. I think there’s some things you can do to trick the phone into enabling stage manager and other ipad features.

  And I can't really understand why we aren't there yet. Do we really need 8 cores to phone and read IMs? And isn't there an OS that works both on mobile and desktop?
  I'm baffled.

  The nearest thing we have is the Steam Deck dock.

    Quite a few phones have desktop modes now, and they work alright. I wish my phone had it. My iphone 16 supports USB dp alt mode but only a direct mirror.

  Dick it in a laptop shell. And then the phone being the touchpad for the mouse. This was my prediction too. I’m still hoping.

  I remember playing with a Motorola Atrix in a store. It seemed like a really cool idea.
