Until Apple hop on the "smartphone to full PC" wagon.

The only thing this is good for is emulating console games on the big screen.

Maybe this can finally give manufacturers a reason to put actually useful operating systems on phones? Or simply mae x86_64 phones? That would be neet.

>emulating console games
For retro gamers, probably.
But it has a lot of other applications for average users.
Excluding "Gamers" and creative usage, Such a thing can be handy if what you want is ultra portable typing/browsing/light gaming machine.
The DeX design need to be revamped, sliding dock, more ports.
It's a great idea but need slight tweaking, and good advertising.

The biggest hurdle will be the ports gap.
You can't switch to newer ports while maintaining legacy ports.
As well as third party application support.
And finally the need to "upgrade" the dock with each new phone.

I dont really see a problem with this. It's great for simple task Normies could potentially replace their macbooks with something like this.

It's not the first time that this has been tried, but smartphones are so powerful now that this actually makes sense. Can you use QEMU from the play store to run Ubuntu on this? That would be pretty great.

We're more likely to see ARM MacBooks that are $800-1000 to replace the MacBook Air.

still needs a jailbreak and rooted to be useful

>>61104633
To run a full desktop OS with x86 programs. Using ARM/Android only apps or a compatibility layer is retarded.

Do you know that you can't use those two words together?
