    I would maybe consider spending $2000 on a phone if it was functionally as usable as a laptop. Which Android is not.

      Apple could totally make their new phones work with MacOS as they’ve shown with the MacBook Neo, when connected to a monitor, but they won’t.

      It would be pretty amazing if they did though.

        I think a powerful Linux phone plus a laptop chassis that connects to the phone somehow and turns it into a laptop would be really nice

          The company that made the Nexdock is planning to make a phone. It will be Android but it can bring up a full Linux desktop that can access the Android storage. I am considering getting it and only using Android for calls, texts, and a couple apps while I install phosh UI in the distro and focus on using that.

            yeah the issue with these is cooling, that’s why neo turned whole chassis into a heatsink, so I’m a bit sceptical based on the quick showcase video they show on the webpage.
