thats. actually quite smart. whats the limitation about screensize?
It's a handheld limited to 1280x800, but I haven't found it particularly hard to adjust.
You can also connecta portable screen for 100-200 bucks and have effectively 2 monitors. This starts breaking weight and size of "normal" laptop (only one screen but higher resolution and size than just the deck), but still costs significantly less for quite the bang-for-buck ratio.
I did use mine for a trip like a laptop for a full trip once. My conclusion is that for me personally a laptop (also with additional screen) is better, but I also happen to have one. I'm not sure I'd buy one already having the deck+monitor+keyboard+mouse.
ah yes. indeed for using it as mobile device
I forgot that a laptop can be used without a docking station. 😅
