Phone gaming with a USC-C display or simply cast to the TV, and Bluetooth remotes. It might not be as bad as it sounds. My phone has 12GB RAM, 256GB NVME SSD, a decent GPU and a dedicated AI chipset as well.

Sure, it won’t beat a tricked out gaming PC with some $4000 GPU in it, but it will probably be competitive with console gaming. Granted, the PS5 is 5-6 years old by now, but my phone has more power in every measure.

My “dream” everyday device is still a phone that docks with a display, keyboard and mouse, and magically transforms into a desktop OS. On the to mobile apps would allow access to the same data, but touch optimized instead.



That's a Nintendo Switch. The general purpose docking OS was what Win8 was supposed to be but it was flubbed horribly.


Yes, it’s a Nintendo switch, but it’s not a separate device, it’s a device I’m lugging around every day anyway.


Things like the Ouya where they took common android hardware and software stack and put them on a TV cheaply was a great idea. They just executed it so poorly it was always going to die.

A mostly open platform that had an online store, very cool. But it became flooded with crap from day one.
