Are there any devices that fit the bill of an "anti-laptop"? I despise working on tiny (<27") screens, but I often need to work both from home and from the office. Currently I have a docking station in each location and move a laptop between them. However, I never ever open the laptop or use it on battery power.
It seems silly that most of the volume and weight of the device I carry around daily are totally unused, and that most of the tradeoffs it makes are irrelevant to me, but most small desktop machines are either too large or too slow (to meet a price point, presumably?). None that I know of is designed to operate from a single Thunderbolt cable like a docked laptop can.
Does such a product exist? I understand that this is a small fraction of a fraction of a use case, and until recently connectivity options weren't really there to support such a device, but I think there is some promise in this idea.
The Framework desktop case seems to come the closest so far, but it still doesn't (I think?) address the single-cable connectivity question. There's not too much info about it on the website so I couldn't answer all my questions about it.
