    In what way? To me, this seems viable.
    Hell, really any laptop with 4G/5G modem. Internet connectivity anywhere is mostly my concern. A pocket-sized computer is still fairly convenient, but it doesn’t provide me with anything unique a laptop can’t replace.

      It was mostly a quip about replacing the convenience of something that fits in your pocket and is handheld. I like the idea, it could work for some people. Definitely not me, I’m not in front of a screen / PC for almost all of my day. I do stay in touch with people via texts / calls throughout the day however.

      I guess it can have its uses, but it would definitely not replace a mobile phone for me. It may be good in an office where you get your calls by the computer and indeed for internet connection on a laptop, but it will not replace the ease of going somewhere and calling your friend to say “I’m in the square, I don’t see you let’s meet at this bar”.
