Phones are kind of a mess and it seems PCs are far more secure/anon vs even graphene on a pixel. Drives aren’t very easily backed up or even cloned. Software is limited on mobile or needing flashed or rooted. There’s a lot to a phone that could be easily solved by a tablet/2 in 1 or Micro PC with SIM capability for phone replacement if size could be slightly larger. Working or doing much if anything even on a 6.7in screen is not that good Samsung Dex was awesome but not quite the same. So I’m willing to go larger. It would be nice to go from phone usage to gaming power. But be able to add multiple internal SSDs slots as USBs are just slower and finnicky fiddly.

But it seems PCs are leaps and bounds more capable. And SIM capable 2 in 1s are the middle ground. Which would be a better daily driver for anon and security? Convenience when on the go without sacrificing processing power as least as possible.

What about a central PC setup that you carry everywhere? Having access to running VMs, servers, all on the go. Not a laptop but similar to an micro ITX or Intel NUC.

AR mirroring PC glasses would be what I really want. The hardest part is a convenient mouse keyboard setup for times like laying in bed at night. There’s so many devices things get cumbersome to do and process all the time chargers, peripherals, cables, OS types. So I was wondering what are some other peoples perspectives on this type of thinking and solutions.

Its actually seeming like a device to cast or transition screen size is most convenient. Say from AR, to TV, to monitor, or phone sized easily without always cabling in to change.

    I know. I’m prepared to build it inside a backpack or similar sized carry package. But I was really looking for the most convenient pound for pound processing power an ease of use type device. Running Linux is a must. I’m fully OK with it replacing my phone. I considered a modified steam deck but a GPD seems awesome. Depending on the specs. I’ll dive deeper into it.
