Won't most prefer a Laptop?

And why keep the keyboard at all?
Shared workspaces already have those. l see only disadvantages compared to just a tiny portable mini-PC, e.g. the exposed keys as single point of failure.

Yeah what's wrong with small pc cases too? My mom had one that was a cube of like 15-20cm per side at work 15 years ago, I'm sure they can make them much smaller now. That would probably be more convenient to maintain, and at least you won't have to change your keyboard if the PC is broken or vice versa

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that was like 15-20cm³

I doubt that as that would be a cube of just 2.5cm side length, did you perhaps mean 15cm per side?

We have a Mini-PC mounted to the back of the TV, it is just 12x12x4 cm³.
Great device!

Uh, yeah, I meant 15-20cm per side. Shouldn't have wrote that before my coffee I guess
