@troubleMoney i want something like this that's more like the dreamcast vmu, where it's got a tiny screen and some processing capabilities and then you can attach it to a dock with a more high powered computer in it
@troubleMoney yessssssss give me more modular/pluginable computer designs like that
@typhlosion @troubleMoney i recall some designs like this being a thing a few years ago i wonder what happened to them?
like there was a phone you plugged into a laptop case as a touchpad and it would use the more powerful hardware of the laptop
@typhlosion @troubleMoney ah here it is https://www.razer.com/projectlinda
i remembered wrong, it didnt actually add much to it aside from a keyboard, storage and bigger screen, but nowadays you dont really need to
@typhlosion funnily enough that's basically how this worked
On board it had a 4-bit CPU, 2K of RAM, and 7.5K of ROM, putting it in the UC-2200 dock let it use a Z80, 4K of RAM, and 26K of ROM
