    Since I have to carry a keyboard anyway, I’m just going to carry a full laptop instead.

      Yeah I thought this was cool and having been trying it for a year because I used to travel a lot for work. But I realized carrying my portable monitor and keyboard wasn’t much different from carrying my Surface. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like it’s less useful than it seems.

          From what I’ve experienced, it’s just running android apps on a desktop aesthetic so you get your free floating windows but it’s still all android. That’s why I’m not sure if using your pixel as a server or any kind is viable. Sorry, I’m not technical enough.
