SomeGadgetGuyGetting a feeling that a bunch of tech influencers are about to RADICALLY shift their "earnest opinions" about using a phone style chip to power a full desktop OS experience, and any compromises in that performance will be totally fine. Just something in the air right now...
John Gibson@SomeGadgetGuy Laptops should now just be a large battery case with keyboard/trackpad and screen that you snap your phone into for instant desktop experience.
Overlander_1@SomeGadgetGuy Ooohh, you feel some major marketing events & dollars about to be pushed by some of the Triarc of mediocrity to help them.... re-evaluate that previous hard-line stance?
@Overlander_1 Probably not? If the topic even comes up in the videos and "reviews", I'm confident it will be shrugged over that THIS company's phone chip is gooder enough to do it now, and we'll completely ignore that compute power has been there for roughly the last five years for ANY premium phone chip to also have delivered a similar experience.
Farhan Tajuddin@SomeGadgetGuy For me, it should open the question of OS convergence. Why we need three different OS for three different types of device when we can have one OS for all? Times likes this makes me so miss Windows 10 UWP so much. So many potentials can be unlocked from it, especially with the Lumia lineup.

And now we demonstrably have the compute performance in mobile to do that well.
